The present Dutch-German cemetery was opened in 1840. Before this date there was another very old cemetery for Dutch and German people which was authorised in 1695. In 1924 the mortal remains of those buried there were transferred to the “new” cemetery and put into an ossuary which still stands in the middle of the burial ground. Three slabs were placed on the walls of the small open structure which was built around the ossuary hole. In 2018 a very strong wind storm cracked an old cypress tree which feel over the ossuary, substantially damaging it. Several subscriptions were consequently launched online and offline to fund its restoration. I’ll keep you updated on the restoration process.

Each slab lists the names of the deceased for a given time-span:

Slab#1: c.1700-1794 (83 people)

Slab#2: 1795-1823 (115 people)

Slab#3: 1824-1839 (129 people)

There’s another slab which was placed there in 1990 listing 12 persons whose remains were then placed in the ossuary. Another memorial stone was hung on the North wall after WWII to commemorate people whose graves were destroyed by a bombing and for whom it has been possible to find names (11).

The following list was made by the deceased pastor Mauro Del Nista and Patrizia Meoli in April 1997 and printed in the book I “Giardini” della Congregazione Olandese-Alemanna, Debatte, Livorno, 2004.

I added a few more information in square brackets […].
