history

Radebeul-Ost cemetery, party hall by Max Czopka

In 1854, a prayer room was set up in the newly built Oberlößnitz school, in which, in the years that followed, church services were held more and more frequently for Oberlößnitz, Radebeul and Serkowitz, all of which belong to the parish of Kaditz . This is how the desire for a separate parish , which was formed in 1890, arose in the eastern Lößnitz communities .

In 1890, in connection with the construction of the Luther Church, a new cemetery was created in the west on the border between Radebeul and Serkowitz , and in 1891 the cemetery chapel created by Schilling & Graebner , which was rebuilt in 1912, was inaugurated . The hall building with round arch portal and bell tower has a polygonal apse on the east side.

In 1901 the area of ​​the cemetery was doubled, and in 1920 the newest part of the cemetery was built according to plans by Emil Högg . In 1928/1929 Max Czopka designed the New Celebration Hall in the Art Deco style . The celebration hall, which also houses the administration, has a flat hipped roof made of sheet metal and a high shield wall with three lancet-arched openings as the entrance, above which the cross is attached to a console.

The oak crucifixion group in the chapel was created in 1955/1956 by the sculptor Magdalene Kreßner, who lives in the Oberlößnitz district .
