It is known that Daniel Mietel was a great bourgeois and a merchant. He was born in Kluczbork on November 15, 1756. For 13 years he was the husband of Eva Rosina Koschin. He had a son with her, who lived only a year, and he himself died after a long illness on July 20, 1797, at the age of just over 40.

The monument was erected by a friend named Fleicher, signed under a poem carved on a cylindrical sandstone pillar. A friend who expressed his grief after the loss in the form of despairing stanzas.

Daniel Mietel's tombstone is over three meters high and has the form of a cylindrical pillar set on a brick pedestal. The column is closed at the top with a cornice cover, and the whole thing is crowned with a stone urn decorated with ciren. The monument is a typical example of classicist art in which you can clearly see the admiration for the ancient forms and architectural details. In the initial phase of classicism, the objects that were created at that time were static. But with the development of romanticism, in the first half of the nineteenth century, they were given individual characteristics with a high emotional charge. The manifestation of this is the poem carved on the merchant's monument - an elegy.
