An active municipal cemetery on Trzmielowicka Street in Wrocław's Leśnica district, founded in 1883 as a Protestant cemetery, with a surviving historic section from before 1945.
Leśnica Cemetery is an active municipal cemetery on Trzmielowicka Street, in the Leśnica district of Wrocław.
The cemetery was opened in October 1883 by decision of the Silesian Evangelical Consistory. Until 1945 it was a denominational cemetery, intended for the residents of Leśnica and the surrounding villages belonging to the Evangelical Church. It was enlarged twice - in 1893 and 1905.
After 1945 the cemetery became a municipal cemetery and remains one today - it is managed by the Municipal Cemetery Board in Wrocław.
From the period before 1945, individual tombstones and tombs have survived at the cemetery, including some in the Egyptian, neo-Baroque and neo-Gothic styles - some of the neo-Gothic tombstones bear traces of removed inscription plaques.
