War cemetery No. 150 in Chojnik is a cemetery from World War I, designed by Henrich Scholz.
The cemetery is located directly on the Gromnik-Tarnów road No. 977, on a slope rising on its north-eastern side. It has a rectangular shape with an area of about 265 m². It is two-level, the entrance is closed with a double gate made of iron bars, to which a concrete staircase leads, enclosed in short sections of a stone wall. The fence is made of metal bars, set on a stone wall.
Currently, the stairs begin in a road ditch, and the level of the modern road is on a par with the first level of the cemetery. It is surrounded by a fence on 4 sides. Two stairways lead to the second level of the cemetery, shifted to both sides relative to the axis of the cemetery. They lead to the monument - a stylized antique helmet on a solid stone platform, on which there is a plaque made of the same stone as the sculpture of the helmet with the inscription 1914 - 1915.
The tombstones were made in the form of concrete staples with a trapezoidal section. They are crowned with crosses of several types:
• Maltese cast iron crosses with a laurel wreath motif,
• cast iron Latin crosses with a round shield at the intersection of the arms,
• small cast iron Lorraine crosses.
40 soldiers were buried in the cemetery in 3 mass graves and 26 individual graves, including:
• 27 from the Austro-Hungarian army
• 13 from the Russian army.
N 49.8522 E 20.9985 - by the road No. 977, there is no convenient place to park the car.
Small, nicely designed by Heinrich Scholz, a cemetery on which there are 27 Austro-Hungarian and 13 Russian soldiers. Scholz was the main designer of cemeteries in the Tarnowski District. In his projects he used antique motifs (hoplite helmets, stylized columns). He was alien to the monumentalism which the Austrian designers of other necropoliies from the Great War were succumbing to.
