History
The cemetery dates back to around 1784. In the 1970s the highway was widened and a 5 meters wide section was cut off of the cemetery. Sorrowfully the most valuable cemetery chapel and crypts (including the crypts of the Palugyay and the Csáky families) were sacrificed.
Afterwards most of the graves were disposed of by the Slovaks, so only a small portion of them survived. But they still represent quite well that Pozsony was inhabited by Germans and Hungarians in the past.
