history

Deaconess graves in the old cemetery

In the corner of today's Kötzschenbrodaer Strasse and Am Gottesacker was the region's court of law, known as the Galgenberg. Before 1566, a plague cemetery was laid out as the second burial site of the Kötzschenbroda parish near Fürstenhain , which remained in use even after the epidemics and was referred to as the Gottesacker , later the Old Cemetery . This cemetery was first mentioned in a document in 1602. From the end of the 17th century, the churchyard became the main burial place of the parish.

In 1853 the parentation hall , which is still in use today, was built in the cemetery .

Since the cemetery was no longer sufficient despite all the expansion, a new cemetery was planned not far to the east from 1860, the New Cemetery, inaugurated in 1874 . Today, as Radebeul-West cemetery, it is one of the two main cemeteries in the city of Radebeul . In the following period, the old cemetery was mainly used for the burial of the deceased from the Bethesda deaconess institution in Niederlößnitz's Heinrich-Zille-Strasse and the associated Magdalenasylum . Although the cemetery was supposed to be closed in 1911, it is still in operation today.
