When the City of Medina took ownership of the German Liberal Cemetery in 2010, it was one of two remaining “Free Thinkers” cemeteries in the state. The Free Thinkers Society was a movement that began in Germany during the 1840’s as a protest against the unquestioning acceptance of the authority of the church regarding religious truths. The main focus of these groups was to promote a spiritual freedom and to recognize a person’s right to believe religious truths that are evident through science, history, personal knowledge and experience.
This acre plot of land was donated by Bernard Gaspar. The cemetery was used as early as 1862 and was officially recorded and recognized by the state in 1892.
The cemetery is open to visitors from sunrise to sunset.
