The Central Cemetery in Scenic was established in 1900, and the first funerals were conducted on 6 December 1901. The project of the necropolis was devised by Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau, who in 1891-1921 held the post of the municipal building councillor (town architect). The co-author of the design was Georg Hannig, cemetery director in 1900-1928. The first stage involved the eastern part of the necropolis with meandering lanes along both sides of the vista axis. The Neo-Romanesque buildings erected in 1900-1904, and designed by Wilhelm Meyer Schwartau, included the main gate, modelled on campo santo Italian cemeteries, and a chapel situated along the axis of the premise with a central plan. A rectangular pool was located in front of the chapel. The central part of the necropolis stretching along the Topolowa (today: Widokowa) lane was set up after 1918, while the western part with three long lanes running along two streams, perpendicularly to the premise axis, dates back to the 1920s. A new modernist chapel in Leszczynowa lane was built in 1928-1930. The Szczecin necropolis is an example of a landscape cemetery in which the final effect was co-created by plants, landscaping, buildings, and sepulchral art. The older, eastern part of the cemetery is distinct for an unhampered composition, while the younger parts, made up of rectangular sections, were originally a geometric configuration. After 1945 the terraces along the axis were adapted for a war cemetery for about 3 000 Soviet and more than 300 Polish soldiers and civilians. A Heroes’ Hill was created after the war around the round pool, but representative sections and a regularly planned lower part of the so-called urn Grove had been destroyed, while former glades and areas intentionally left without graves were used for new burials sites. The central and western parts of the necropolis were reused in the 1970s and the 1980s, preserving the former spatial configuration and landscape features, totally ignored while establishing new sections outside the historical boundaries of the cemetery. The species of plants changed – poplars growing along Widokowa lane withered, as did numerous birches and coniferous trees. The main gate, damaged in 1941, was rebuilt in 1959-1963, but the main chapel was not recreated until 1983-1994. The modernist chapel from 1930 was pulled down in 1984. The post-war period also witnessed the demolition and devastation of a majority of the old gravestones. In 1984 the Central Cemetery was listed in a register of historical monuments. Recently, work has been initiated on projects for the revalorisation of particular parts of the necropolis, i. a. a lapidarium to be situated in an upper part of the urn Grove, recreated according to old plans. The main gate and the round pool behind the chapel are also to be repaired. The triangular pool on the axis of Widokowa lane also requires thorough repair, and historical gravestones await conservation. At present, the cemetery administration, supported by the Voivodeship Conservator of Historical Monuments and the Society of the Central Cemetery in Szczecin (established in 2003) are making efforts to secure the necessary funds.

The existing military cemetery in Łuków Łapiguz has been operating at least since August 1914. In these times it served as the place of burial of the soldiers died in the field hospital located at the area of the Russian barracks in Łapiguz. Ensuring proper interment to the soldiers responded to the postulates of the Alexander Committee for the Wounded operating in St. Petersburg, recommending burials in a separated location and commemorated with a cross or monument. At the end of August 1915, under the pressure of the summer offensive of the Central Powers, the Russian army retreated towards east outside the territory of the Kingdom of Poland. In September 1915, the military operations in the Vistula and Bug Rivers basin were discontinued. That is when the barracks in Łapiguz were seized over by the German garrison. The areas under the German occupation were divided into military governments, among others with the seat in Łuków, subordinate to the General Government in Warsaw. The tasks of the German Imperial Military Government in Łuków included care of the graves of the fallen soldiers at the subordinated territory of two Poviats: Łuków and Garwolin. In 1917, the reorganization plan for cemetery in Łuków Łapiguz was completed. The cemetery established by the Russians was transformed from the place of burial into the memorial. The cemetery was designed along the N-S axis marked out as the main alley leading from the representational entrance to the chapel closing the perspective of the axis. Two transversal alleys divided the cemetery into smaller sections: in the southern part – the sections with graves, sections with stone monuments commemorating the soldiers of the Russian Army (towards west) and German and Austro-Hungarian army (towards east) in the centre, and the wooden, single-tower chapel in the north. On 11 November, 1918 the German garrison in Łuków Łapiguz was disarmed by the district contingent of the Polish Military Organization. Upon incorporating the PMO contingents into the Polish army, the garrison service was performed by the company, which, on May 1919, was incorporated into the organized reserve battalion of the 22th Siedlce infantry regiment. The other burials at the cemetery took place during the operations of the 1920 Polish-Soviet War. During the Second Polish Republic, the cemetery was governed by the Polish military authorities: Office for War Graves Protection at the General District Command followed by the War Graves Department at the District Public Works Directorate at the Lubelskie Voivodeship Office after 1922. According to the official documents, the war cemetery in Łuków Łapiguz was one of the largest cemeteries at the territory of the Lubelskie Voivodeship. Following data of the 1920s registers, the number of burials in the individual and mass graves was as follows: 208 soldiers of the Austrian army, 1009 – Russian, 36 – German and 548 not classified soldiers, i.e. 1801 soldiers in total. The action of war cemeteries consolidation has been carried out on successive basis until 1933. The intention behind maintenance of the cemetery in Łuków Łapiguz was its use as mass cemetery. Renovation works, including repair of the fencing made of squared wood, making grave symbols and raising 919 graves for the individual and mass burials, have been planned. The works were performed until spring 1939. The final period of the cemetery’s operation dates back to 1939-1944 and covers the burials of the 3rd Reich army soldiers. The wooden chapel burnt in 1972. No stone monuments survived. However, an original wooden grave monument in a minaret form commemorating the Muslim soldiers is among the very few survivors. It was relocated from the cemetery to the District Museum in Lublin and to the Open Air Village Museum in Lublin on later date. Earth graves have disappeared in time. It was commonly believed that the cemetery held fewer bodies than counted down in the statistics of the inter-war period. In 1997, the bodies of the WWII German soldiers were exhumed. In 2014, the cemetery was entered into the list of monuments of the Lubelskie Voivodeship. The proceedings included an archive inquiry, which resulted in discovering, among others, the cemetery plan and numerical data from the inter-war period registers.

Almost 200 places of burial of soldiers of both annies fighting in the First World War have survived in the region of Łódż. They include cemeteries and cemetery Sections where soldiers fighting in the so-called battle of Łódż, which took place in 1914, found their last resting place. One of these cemeteries is in Szadkowice, and even though it does not really stand out from other resting places of the battle of Łódż soldiers, it deserves our attention. The cemetery in Szadkowice located on the edge of the forest survived the interwar period, when many mass graves were liquidated and bodies exhumed to nearby cemeteries. The original number of 21 buried bodies grew then to nearly 180, and the cemetery became a mass grave of Germans, Russians and Austro-Hungarians and kind of lapidarium.

After heavy fights between German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies in November-December 1914, a dozen or so war cemeteries were created in the vicinity of Szadek. One of such places is the war cemetery in Szadkowice, which still exists today. Initially 21 soldiers were buried there, but after exhumations and closing down of several other war cemeteries, about 200 more bodies were moved to Szadkowice. Along with the remains of the soldiers, tombstones from other necropolises were moved to the Szadkowice war cemetery. Until now, only 60 tombstones have survived in the Szadkowice cemetery, and only 33 of them have inscriptions. Based on these inscriptions the author of the article made an attempt to identify the killed soldiers and to find out in which units they served and where they lived or were born.

W okresie listopada–grudnia 1914 r. na ziemi szadkowskiej doszło do zaciekłych walk między armiami Niemiec, Austro-Węgier oraz Rosji. W ich efekcie powstało w okolicach Szadku kilkanaście cmentarzy i kwater wojennych, na których pochowano poległych żołnierzy. Jednym z takich miejsc jest istniejący do dzisiaj cmentarz wojenny w Szadkowicach. Początkowo na jego terenie spoczęło 21 żołnierzy, jednak wskutek ekshumacji i likwidacji innych cmentarzy wojennych ostatecznie pogrzebano tam ok. 200 poległych. Wraz ze szczątkami żołnierzy na cmentarz w Szadkowicach trafiły także pomniki nagrobne ze zlikwidowanych nekropolii. Do czasów współczesnych zachowało się na szadkowickim cmentarzu jedynie 60 takich obiektów, przy czym na zaledwie 33 z nich znajdują się jakiekolwiek inskrypcje. Opierając się na napisach z nagrobków autor artykułu podjął próbę zidentyfikowania poległych żołnierzy i ustalenia na podstawie zachowanych dokumentów, w jakich jednostkach służyli, gdzie się urodzili i mieszkali, czy mieli rodzinę.

W artykule skonfrontowano obowiązujące przepisy prawa ze stanem faktycznym opieki nad zabytkowymi cmentarzami. Niniejsze opracowanie przedstawia analizę norm prawnych w zakresie ochrony zabytkowych nekropolii; koncentruje się na charakterystyce zabytkowych obiektów – cmentarzy oraz wskazuje na normy prawne, których zadaniem jest ochrona dziedzictwa kulturowego. Zwrócono uwagę na kwestie postępowania i opis procedur związanych z objęciem ochroną zabytkowych nekropolii, a także wyszczególniono instytucje odpowiedzialne za sprawowanie tej ochrony i zakres ich zadań. Podkreślono znaczenie ochrony zabytkowych obiektów – cmentarzy jako ochrony wartości, jakimi są dziedzictwo narodowe oraz tożsamość narodowa, prawna opieka nad zabytkowymi cmentarzami nie skupia się bowiem wyłącznie na ochronie miejsc pochówku ze względu na poszanowanie zwłok i w hołdzie zmarłym zasłużonym ojczyźnie, ale na równi dba o dziedzictwo kulturowe i otacza ochroną zabytkowe obiekty nekropolii o dużej wartości artystycznej, historycznej i kulturowej. Nie pominięto również problematyki opieki nad zabytkowymi polskimi cmentarzami położonymi poza granicami Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej, a także źródeł finansowania renowacji zabytkowych obiektów oraz charakterystyki cmentarzy, które pełnią rolę wyjątkowych muzeów.

The article confronts the current legal regulations with the actual state of guardianship of historic cemeteries. This study presents an analysis of legal norms in the field of protection of historic necropolises; it focuses on the characteristics of historic cemetery objects and indicates the legal norms whose task is to protect cultural heritage. Attention was drawn to the issues of proceeding and description of procedures related to the protection of historic necropolises, as well as the institutions responsible for the protection and the scope of their tasks. The importance of the protection of historic cemetery objects as a protection of values such as national heritage and identity was emphasized, as the legal care of historic cemeteries is not only focused on the pro¬tection of burial sites due to the respect for the bodies and in tribute to the deceased with merits for their homeland, but also takes care of cultural heritage and protects historic necropolis objects of high artistic, historical and cultural value. The issues concerning the protection of historical Polish cemeteries located outside the borders of the Republic of Poland, as well as sources of funding for the renovation of historic buildings and the characteristics of cemeteries, which serve as exceptional museums, were also taken into account.
