The decision to create a central cemetery in Szczecin was made in 1899. It was dictated by the overcrowding of numerous municipal burial places in the city, which were liquidated with the commencement of the construction of one municipal mecropolis. The design of the cemetery was made by Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau and Georg Hanning. The architects' assumption was to create a cemetery-park, therefore a large part of the area consists of lawns, rows of trees and water reservoirs.
In the years 1901-1903, the 77-meter-wide main gate to the cemetery was built in the neo-Romanesque architectural style, referring to the cemetery chapel. The chief designer was Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau. Two wings of the gate have been developed for the needs of the cemetery administration and economic facilities. In 1941, during the bombing raids, the gate was seriously damaged. The cemetery documentation was burnt down as a result of the fire. During the reconstruction, the eastern wing - the economic one, and the dome with a cross, which originally adorned the gate, were removed.
