Cmentarz Wojenny z 1914 roku

The war cemetery in Kotowice is a necropolis where soldiers of the three invading armies, killed in 1914 during the fighting in the southeastern part of the Polish Kingdom, are buried.

It was probably erected at the beginning of 1915 as a large facility and buried about 800 soldiers. In 1936, as a result of the komasacja process, bodies from the cemeteries in Hucisko, Jaworznik, Ludwinów, Łutowiec were transferred here, Morska, Nowa Wieś, Parkoszowice, Podgaj and Przewodziszowice I and II. In total, 1200 soldiers from the Austro-Hungarian, German and Russian armies are currently buried in Kotowice, which is an exception in the Jurassic region. The largest cross at the burial site is from Ludwinów.

There are 6 different types of cast iron crosses in the cemetery and characteristic cast iron plaques on concrete pedestals. Some of the cast iron crosses that fell victim to thieves have now been replaced with wooden replicas.

The cemetery was renovated in 2000; it is surrounded by a hedge and there is an older chapel nearby. Although it is listed in the Register of Historic Places, it has been repeatedly robbed and devastated; also, the conservation work commissioned has sometimes been carried out unprofessionally and has contributed to further damage.

Major Gerhard von Bessewitz of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Guards Infantry Regiment from Berlin, the highest-ranking German buried in this area, rests in a named grave in the cemetery.
