Paldiski Lutheran cemetery

German: Baltischport

Paldiski's Lutheran cemetery, the eastern of the town's two graveyards, was laid out in the second quarter of the 19th century. Among those buried here are the artist Balder Tomasberg and Voldemar Tihane, both killed in the War of Independence, the historian Hans Laar, mayors and judges of the little port town, a founder of its fire brigade, and Franziska Frangen, the first wife of the sculptor Amandus Adamson. There is also the family plot of a sea captain named Adamson, no relation of the sculptor.

Paldiski luteri kalmistu, linna kahest kalmistust idapoolsem, rajati 19. sajandi teisel veerandil. Siia on maetud Vabadussõjas langenud kunstnik Balder Tomasberg ja Voldemar Tihane, ajaloolane Hans Laar, väikese sadamalinna linnapead ja kohtunikud, tuletõrjeühingu üks asutaja ning kujur Amandus Adamsoni esimene abikaasa Franziska Frangen. Kalmistul on ka kaugesõidukapten Adamsoni perekonna matusepaik – kujuriga ei ole nad sugulased.
