Fundraising campaign at the New Cemetery of Podgórze

The Association PODGORZE.PL invites you to take part in the 20th fundraising campaign dedicated to preserving the historic tombstones at the New Cemetery of Podgórze in Krakow.

About the fundraising campaign

Thanks to the efforts of PODGORZE.PL, two tombstones at the New Cemetery of Podgórze were recently restored (photos below). The total cost of nearly 9,000 euros was fully covered by public donations. To date, these donations have enabled the association to restore eleven historic tombstones, helping revive the memory of the residents of the former Royal Free City of Podgórze. However, many forgotten and neglected tombstones in the Podgórze necropolis still require urgent conservation.

Therefore, as every year, the association is counting on your support and invites everyone to take part in its 20th anniversary fundraising campaign, which aims to begin restoration work on two more tombstones that have no legal owners and are not listed in the register of historical monuments.

The in-person fundraising already took place on 1 and 2 November 2025 at the New Cemetery of Podgórze. For those who could not contribute in person, we warmly encourage you to donate online at: https://zrzutka.pl/3cv2nx

Public collection in Podgorze | Krakow, Poland

On 1st and 3rd November, the Association PODGORZE.PL, organized its 8th annual public collection in the New Podgorze Cemetery in Krakow for the renovation of historically valuable graves.

The New Cemetery of Podgorze (Krakow, Poland)

Picturesquely set on a gentle slope by the foothill of the Krakus Mound, it is the largest cemetery on the right-bank of Krakow.

About the cemetery

The New Cemetery of Podgorze was opened in 1900 and the chapel by the entry was added some years later. Most of those buried in the cemetery were workers and technicians and there were many distinguished industrialists among them. Although many sculptures represent popular motives, some are certainly worthy of attention. There are women with flowers sitting by a cross or a broken pillar and there are many monumental figures of angels whose sadness and beauty induce deep reverie.
