Loschwitz Cemetery

In about 1800 the churchyard of Loschwitz became full, and so a new burial ground was opened on the road to Pillnitz, the present cemetery.

The stained glass windows are by Wilhelm Walther, the creator of the Dresden "Fürstenzug"; the scene of the Crucifixion over the centre portal is by the sculptor Johannes Hartmann from Leipzig.

The chapel bell with an inscription "Frieden" ("Peace") was made in 1947 by Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling from Apolda.

Loschwitz Cemetery is the burial place of numerous artists of regional and national significance, who also created many of the gravestones and monuments.

Since 1956 three wooden crosses to a design by Oskar Menzel have commemorated the dead of World War II.
