CEMETERY: Normal 0 Located on a hill on ul Mühlenweg (Młynarska Street) at the corner of Königsbergerstraße aka Chojeńska Street (present-day Robotnicza Street), only a narrow path divided it from the city's municipal cemetery. When this cemetery was filled to capacity, they covered the existing burial ground with a 1.5-meter layer of earth to begin new burials. However, no trace remains of the old Jewish cemetery, not even the path. Neglected and not marked on a map, the site is surrounded by a continuous wall without any gates and is overgrown with plants and weeds. The old city cemetery contains only Polish graves.
