History
Historically, Protestants , followers of the Augsburg confession were buried here.
The cemetery was consecrated on May 2, 1792. Built by the famous architect of the Saxon era, Simon Bogumil Zug . Since its discovery, more than 100,000 people have been buried in the cemetery. Massive tombings were carried out in 1794 during the Kosciusko uprising and during World War II, with fierce battles between Warsawans and German occupiers taking place in the cemetery in 1944, with the result that part of the cemetery was seriously damaged.
Now many tombstones are destroyed or in poor condition. A public cemetery restoration committee has been established, raising funds for the return of former glory and beauty to the Lutheran cemetery of Warsaw.
