Kalamaja cemetery
The Kalamaja cemetery ((ドイツ語:Fischermay Kirchhof) or ''Fischermay Friedhof'', (エストニア語:Kalamaja kalmistu)) in Tallinn in Estonia was once the city's oldest existing cemetery, located in the suburb of Kalamaja in the north of the city. It contained thousands of graves of ethnic Estonian and Swedish residents of Tallinn and stood for at least 400 years, from the 15th or 16th century to 1964 when it was completely flattened and destroyed by the Soviet occupation authorities governing the country at that time.〔Rein Taagepera, ''Estonia: Return to Independence'', Westview Press 1993, ISBN 0-8133-1703-7, page 189〕 The former cemetery is now a public park: "Kalamaja kalmistupark".
==Origins and use==
The exact origins of the cemetery are not completely clear, but historians place its foundation to sometime between the 15th and 16th centuries. It was the principal burial ground of the ethnic Swedish and Estonians living in or around Tallinn.
Until the mid to late 19th century the majority of residents of Tallinn were Baltic Germans who had their own separate graveyards within the city walls until 1774, and their own separate cemeteries outside the city after that.
Until its destruction the cemetery had thousands of graves standing of various historical figures from Estonia's history.
