Jerzmanowo Cemetery

Jerzmanowo Cemetery is a Wrocław municipal necropolis in the western part of the city, established at the end of the 1990s. It was designed with a park-like character, with a chapel placed centrally within the whole layout.

The founding of the cemetery

The Jerzmanowo Branch of the Municipal Cemetery was established under a resolution of the Wrocław City Council of 5 June 1998. It is administered by the city and remains an active necropolis.

Layout of the site

The grounds were laid out in the manner of a park, with avenues and greenery surrounding the sections, rather than as a typical, densely built-up cemetery. The chapel is the central point of the composition.

Who rests here

Buried in the cemetery is Kazimierz Paździor, a boxer and Olympic champion from 1960, as well as Dr Habil. Stanisław Chełpa, a lecturer in psychology at the Wrocław University of Economics, and Professor Romuald Jacek Pomorski, an entomologist and founder of the Polish Taxonomical Society.
