Graves of Poles from World War II at the cemetery of war victims

The war cemetery is located on the Geisberg hill in close proximity to the village of Braudau. Of the 461 victims of both World Wars, 306 are foreigners of 15 nationalities who lost their lives during the Second World War. The graves were transferred to this cemetery in the 1960s from 57 municipalities in the surrounding districts. The names of 102 Polish citizens are known.

In 2020-2021, the Polish-German Reconciliation Foundation, as part of a task supported by the Ministerial Programme "Sites of National Remembrance Abroad", compiled data on the buried persons and made it available, together with a description of the cemetery, on the website of the project "Polish Memorials and War Graves in Germany": https://polskiegroby.pl/cmentarz.php?jez=pl&cmentarzok=593&miejsceok=703&landok=8.
