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

The Friedhof der Opfer des Faschismus is a burial ground in Paulsstadt with approximately 1,500 graves for different victim groups. The site includes individual burial spots and several collective grave areas near Obotritenring.

The burial ground began receiving remains from 1943 to 1945, when Soviet forced laborers were buried there. On May 8, 1945, remains of 74 prisoners from Wöbbelin concentration camp were also interred at the site.

The cemetery displays a monument showing a grieving Soviet soldier, installed in 1978 among the graves of Red Army members in the northern section. This statue shapes how visitors experience the place and reflects the Soviet remembrance of those who died.

The cemetery lies in Paulsstadt at the southern Obotritenring, at the corner of Sandstraße and Platz der Opfer des Faschismus, opposite the Alten Friedhof. The grounds were restored in keeping with the monument between 2011 and 2013. The entrance gate carries the inscription "Ruhm der Sowjetarmee"; the bronze soldier stands in the northern section among the Soviet graves.

In the VdN burial field, 71 grave slabs were placed in a semicircle after 1970, each bearing the prisoner number of a Wöbbelin camp inmate buried here on 8 May 1945. The cemetery also holds the grave of Kurt Bürger, KPD state chairman and briefly Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's minister-president, whose urn was moved here from the Alter Friedhof in 1994.
