REDISCOVER - Pannonian Cemetery Days

06-06-2019

The event was organised by the City of Osijek municipal company Ukop Ltd. and Komunal magazine. The main issue was the management of the cemeteries and the financing of the infrastructure, the cemeteries as a mirror of cultural heritage, and one of the themes was the project of the Osijek crematorium. Important issue was also how to link culture, tourism and European funds in the context of the cemetery as a place of cultural and historical heritage, works, maintenance and construction of new buildings. The participants visited 2 of 3 Osijek cemeteries which are protected cultural sites (Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia)- St.Ana's and Jewish cemetery in Upper town.

Jewish cemetary in Lower town is also individually protected cultural heritage site, but it is not in representative condition.
