Former Dudeldorf cemetery
The former cemetery is a cultural monument in Baden Street in Dudeldorf , a municipality in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm ( Rhineland-Palatinate ).
history
The cemetery with old chestnut trees, laid out in front of the town walls of the Obertor in 1809, is surrounded on three sides by a sandstone wall. The entrance was designed using the former gate on the Ordorfer side of the Burghof ( Burg Dudeldorf ). It is formed by two squat sandstone pillars with flat Ionic pilasters. On the left there is a figure of St. John Nepomuk over two coats of arms, on the right a Madonna from the 18th century.
The original morgue from the beginning of the 19th century, covered with a half- hip roof , has a closed, arched entrance. Three baroque reliefs - stations of the cross - are embedded in its gable. The room, vaulted by a barrel, is laid out with red sandstone slabs. To the right behind the former cemetery is a war memorial for the fallen of the First and Second World Wars in the form of a cube made of red sandstone.
For hygienic reasons, no funerals have taken place since the late 1980s. The current location serves as a park with a cross chapel .
