history

The cemetery was laid out in 1882 on the field boundary between Plauen and Coschütz and is directly adjacent to the cemetery of the then still independent neighboring community. To distinguish it from the older Inner Plauen cemetery near the Church of the Resurrection, it was given the name Outer Plauen cemetery. For the new burial site, a mortuary hall, a cemetery chapel and a wooden bell tower were built. The chapel, tombs and enclosure wall are under monument protection.

128 aerial warfare deaths were found in the cemetery after the attacks on Dresden on 13/14 Buried in collective and individual graves in February and April 17, 1945, including Italians and Poles.
