Summary/Abstract: The article presents the history of post-evangelical cemeteries in the area of the former Evangelical-Union Church Parish in Osieczna after 1945 (mainly in the times of the People's Republic of Poland). It was a time of nationalization, exploitation, devastation and oblivion. Later years (after 1989) and the present state are briefly mentioned (commemoration and arrangement). The text is dominated by the history of the Osieczna necropolis (preserved sources). After 1945, cemeteries, unlike real estate or parish lands, never found a permanent new use. They remained an undeveloped and vanishing post-evangelical property.
