General
The Querfurt cemetery is located on Friedhofsstrasse, north of the old town and was built in 1572.

The cemetery church is part of another sacred building that was moved to its current location in connection with the relocation of the old cemetery in the old town in 1572. The cemetery church is built in the baroque style . On the side facing the city there is a large archway, which is decorated with a coat of arms and a figure as well as an urn and the inscription Entrance to rest . Instead of a tower, a roof turret was built. A brick building was added to the building on the east side during the Wilhelminian era .
Monuments and tombs
Fire maid
The tomb of the fire maid is the tomb of 15-year-old Anna Regina Lasse. She died in a city fire on August 26, 1678 in the basement of the Zum golden Löwen inn , where she had fled with a maid and two aunts. The donor of the tomb, which was erected in 1678, was her father Christian Lasse , a councilor and mint master of Querfurt. The tomb is built in the Baroque style and shows Anna Regina Lasse as a relief .
Legend has it that the spirit of Anne Regina Lasse always shows itself when a fire threatened to break out.
Monuments to Johannes Schlaf
Johannes Schlaf , the writer and honorary citizen of the city of Querfurt , was set up three monuments in the cemetery. A memorial was erected at the cemetery church while he was still alive in 1922, his 60th birthday . In 1932, on his 70th birthday, the Johannes Schlaf-Linde was planted at the cemetery church. One corner of the enclosure is a stele with a stone ball and two memorial plaques . The stone ball bears the inscription Johannes Schaf-Linde . The older panel is simpler than the younger and shows his head as a relief and bears the inscription:
Johannes Schlaf
on his 70th birthday June 21, 1932
The younger plaque was only installed after his death and bears the inscription:
The honorary citizen of Querfurt
Johannes Schlaf,
philosopher, poet a. Heimatforscher
* June 21, 1862 + February 2, 1941 in Querfurt
In honor of the memory of
"All the world run outflow -
and goal is home!"
The Johannes Schlaf community in the
home publisher R. Jaeckel zu Dingsda
Another memorial plaque was placed on the house where he was born for his 75th birthday and there is also a plaque on the house where he died.
World War II memorial
A simple stone is in the eastern part of the cemetery. The stone bears the inscription:
In memory of the soldiers and
slave laborers of World War II
The stone is a memorial to those who fell in World War II . The year the memorial was created is not known, but such stone setting was only possible after 1989, as the GDR government did not want to add an individual memorial to the soldiers of the war of conquest. The forced laborers are probably less the forced laborers who died in Querfurt, but rather the prisoners of war who died in the labor camps in the Soviet Union .
