Where to stay in Miłostowo
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Lodging on Miłostowo amounts to the cemetery car parks and little else, so mourners and visitors book west along ulica Warszawska instead, on Osiedle Warszawskie or nearer Rondo Śródka. Trams run from the Miłostowo loop. You suit this edge of Poznań if quiet, pine air and a car matter more than a restaurant within walking distance. Antoninek lies further east along the same street, and Główna sits north beyond railway line 353.

About Miłostowo
What are the main landmarks in Miłostowo?
Cmentarz Miłostowo covers 98.69 hectares of dune and old fortress ground north of ulica Warszawska, its pine, birch, poplar, and alder planted in the 1940s to hold the sand. Two funeral chapels serve it. One occupies an old polygonal shelter beside the cemetery gate on ulica Gnieźnieńska.
Quarters hold Polish, Soviet and German war dead, and a lapidarium keeps matzevot salvaged from the Jewish cemetery on ulica Głogowska. Fort IIIa took the crematorium in 1993.
What is the history of Miłostowo?
Poznań absorbed Miłostowo in 1940. German occupation authorities began the cemetery that same year, siting it deliberately away from transport links, and from 1942 Jewish women held in nearby labour camps were forced onto the work. Lager Elektro-Mühle was one such camp, and burials began in 1943.
Older ground lay beneath: Fort IIIa went up between 1887 and 1890 as one of eighteen forts of Twierdza Poznań. The fort carried the name Prittwitz before Polish naming gave it Sułkowski. Graves came here after the war from cleared necropolises in the centre.
Where is Miłostowo?
Miłostowo sits in eastern Poznań, in the fork of the railway lines toward Warszawa and Gniezno, between ulica Warszawska and ulica Gnieźnieńska.
