Soviet military cemetery in Katowice, Military cemetery in Kościuszko Park, Katowice, Poland
The Soviet military cemetery features rows of grave markers surrounded by a metal fence adorned with hammer and sickle symbols throughout its perimeter.
Established in 1945, this cemetery contains the graves of 300 Soviet soldiers who died during military operations against German forces in the Silesian region.
The central memorial receives regular flower offerings, maintaining a connection between present-day visitors and the historical events of World War II.
Located at the intersection of Kościuszki, Górnośląska, and Piękna streets, the cemetery provides paved paths for visitors to access all memorial sections.
The cemetery moved to its current location in 1967 from the city center to accommodate the construction of the Silesian Insurgents' Monument.
