New Jewish cemetery Kolberg - Kösliner Chaussee

In the second half of the 19th century, there was a lack of space for burials in the Jewish cemetery in Theaterpark.

In 1879, the Jewish community of Kolberg received a proposal to transfer the remains free of charge to the municipal cemetery that had been established at the time.However, the exhumation was incompatible with the Jewish religion, which is why the community decided to establish a new burial ground. A plot of land was chosen near the gasworks, where the railroad line leading to Białogard crossed Kösliner Chaussee (today ul. Koszalińska).The first Jew from Kolberg to be buried in the new cemetery was a well-known balneologist, Dr. Herman Hirschfeld, who died on June 19, 1885. In 1933, the monument to Hirschfeld, which had previously stood in front of his house, was moved to the cemetery.Around 1937, the most magnificent and valuable gravestones, which had been removed from the old cemetery, were placed at the entrance to the new necropolis. The cemetery was used until 1938. During the pogrom night of November 9-10, 1938, the cemetery was devastated. The destruction was devastating. The Tahara House was also demolished, later taken over by the Wehrmacht barracks opposite and converted into a stable. There are no traces of gravestones or the Tahara House on the area of around 3,700 square meters.

A gas station is currently partially located in the cemetery (opposite the Polish military unit no. 2117).

There is no evidence of a Jewish burial ground in the area of the cemetery.
