History
In 1774, a cemetery was created in Copley, on the outskirts of Tallinn, on which Lutherans began to be buried. The cemetery lasted until 1945 , after which it was turned into a base of units of the Red Army [2] . In the early 50s, the cemetery was finally destroyed. Currently, a public park is located in the former cemetery.
