Pobrežje Cemetery
Maribor, Mestna občina Maribor, Podravska, Slovenia
After 1910 the old cemetery along Strossmayer Street (Strossmayerjeva ulica) gradually started closing and Maribor residents were buried in the cemetery Pobrežje. The number of burials increased after 1914, when the new cemetery was consecrated and when most of the cemeteries in the surrounding areas of Tezno, Studenci, Kamnica and Magdalena and Graz quarters were closed. In 1915 an office building was built at the main entrance and was later re-arranged into a charnel house.
In 1920 the cemetery was extended and in 1926 a chapel with an altar was erected in the middle of the cemetery, built in accordance with the plans of Rudolf Kiffmann, building contractor. Since the chapel had not been consecrated, it was used only as a charnel house for luxury funerals. The second Town Cemetery by Strossmayer Street was retained until 1940 when it was finally moved to Pobrežje, settling it's final dimension.
Since 2000, the cemetery has been modernised and is becoming an important memorial park. Many soldiers were buried in Pobrežje cemetery in both world wars and therefore in 2009 a memory park was established. In 2011 the first peace monument free of any ideological dimension was placed at the memory park.
