General site condition
The cemetery lies just on the edge of the town and all that remains is a part of the original brick wall. The cemetery area looks like a partially overgrown wasteland. The isolated urban site near water has no sign or plaque. The adjacent property is residential. Reached by turning directly off a public road, the area is about 13 square hectares, the same as prior to World War II. The site has no wall, fence, or gate. Access is open to all. Within the limits of the cemetery are no structures or visible gravestones. The location of removed stones is unknown. The municipality owns the cemetery. Incompatible development is a very serious threat.
