Communal cemetery in Dębno

The communal cemetery in Dębno at Kościuszki Street was established in 1836. It was surrounded by a stone wall, which was also preserved inside the cemetery, functionally separating the cemetery quarters. The necropolis was enlarged in 1885. At the beginning of the 20th century, Pastor Feldhan's burial chapel was built in the cemetery in the form of a rectangular single-storey building with two semi-circular entrances to the interior. In 1994, in one of the surviving crypts, a zinc sheet sarcophagus was found in which the remains of a Landwerk reserve captain who died between 1900 and 1904, the father of the Dębno-based clothier Otto Jerike, were buried. The sarcophagus was transferred to the church of St. Peter and Paul in Dębno.
