Cemeteries and monuments in Tarnowskie Góry: the Jewish cemetery with its matzevot, and sculptures of miners (gwarkowie) in Lasowice, Pniowiec and Sowice.
One burial ground and three figures of miners scattered across the districts. For visitors who want to know the town beyond its market square, in a break from visiting the mine.
The Jewish cemetery at Gliwicka 66 was founded in 1822 and entered into the register of monuments in 2021. About 450 matzevot survive, as well as a pre-burial house from the end of the nineteenth century. It is a burial ground, so it is best visited quietly.
The rest are open-air figures of gwarkowie, that is former miners, from a town-wide series. The gwarek sculpture in Pniowiec is the eleventh figure and stands at the crossing of Jagodowa and Okrężna streets. The sculpture in Lasowice at the crossing of Andersa and Leśna streets is the work of Karolina Piechota, and the sculpture in Sowice on the square by Słowackiego and Grodzka streets is the work of Grzegorz Łagowski. Other places in town are gathered under Tarnowskie Góry, among the historic sights and the churches and monasteries; a regional overview comes from cemeteries and monuments in Silesia.
About 450. The cemetery at Gliwicka 66 also has a pre-burial house from the end of the nineteenth century.
The gwarkowie were miners of old. The figures form a town series of open-air sculptures in different districts.
