About this cemetery
The cholera cemetery in Opole was founded in 1831 as an auxiliary burial ground during a cholera epidemic. It was set up within a few weeks and only 83 people were buried there. They included the brewery owner Wilhelm Thau, the royal district judicial counsellor Franz Adamczyk and the wife of Dr. Zedler, the town physician. The site is in the Nowa Wieś Królewska district, at the junction of św. Jacka, Struga and Graniczna streets.
