Schwerin Cemeteries Close Due to Winter Weather - Schwerin’s cemeteries close indefinitely due to severe winter hazards
Schwerin’s graveyards have shut their gates due to harsh winter conditions. The closures began on Friday at noon and will remain in place until further notice. Three key sites—Old Graveyard, Forest Graveyard, and Graveyard for the Victims of Fascism—are affected by the decision.
The local regulatory authority in Schwerin ordered the shutdown to ensure public safety. Heavy snow and icy paths prompted the move, with officials warning of hazardous conditions for visitors. Signs have been placed at each entrance to inform the public.
Despite the closures, planned funeral services will still take place as scheduled. The city has not yet announced when the graveyards will reopen to the general public.
The temporary shutdown covers all three major graveyards in Schwerin. Residents are urged to follow the posted notices and avoid entering the sites. Updates on reopening will come from the local authority in due course.
