Friedhof der Opfer des Faschismus, Memorial cemetery in Paulsstadt, Schwerin, Germany

The cemetery contains 1,504 graves, including 755 war casualties buried in 723 individual graves and four collective burial sites at Obotritenring.

Between 1943 and 1945, the cemetery received Soviet forced laborers, and on May 8, 1945, the remains of 74 prisoners from Wöbbelin concentration camp.

The cemetery features a monument depicting a grieving Soviet soldier, installed in 1978 among the graves of Red Army members in the northern section.

The cemetery underwent complete restoration between 2011 and 2013, making it accessible to visitors who want to learn about World War II history.

This burial ground combines different victim groups, including concentration camp inmates, Soviet civilians, Red Army members, and Nazi regime persecution victims.
