history

Radebeul-West war cemetery

As the old cemetery of Kötzschenbroda despite all the expansion was no longer sufficient, a new cemetery was planned in 1860 not far east, who in 1874 inaugurated a new cemetery . Today, as Radebeul-West cemetery, it is one of the two main cemeteries in the city of Radebeul. In the years that followed, the old cemetery was mainly used for the burial of the deceased from the nearby deaconess home and children.

The chapel, originally by Moritz Große from 1873/74, was replaced in 1913 by a successor building by the Kießling brothers . These built on the previous building. The outer walls were expanded by just 20 centimeters in depth and 2.60 meters in width, in order to accommodate a more generous spatial program. The cost was at least 40,000 marks. The recently uncovered and restored painting of Christ on the ceiling probably comes from Georg Richter-Lößnitz .

The cemetery area, which initially consisted of Quarters A – D, was expanded several times, first in 1888, and most recently in 1950 to an area of ​​4.1 hectares.

In addition, there is a war cemetery from the end of the Second World War with 92 tombs in the main cemetery of Radebeul-West , which was renovated in 2012/13.

When the Elbe floods in 2013, parts of the cemetery on Kötzschenbrodaer Straße were flooded, including the listed quarry stone wall. Since its stability is endangered, it should be secured with reconstruction funds after the flood. In order to protect both the wall and public traffic along Kötzschenbrodaer Straße, a single-lane traffic route was set up on the side of the street facing away from the wall. Parts of the wall have now collapsed and must be restored.

description

The cemetery area is a larger green area between the streets Am Gottesacker in the north and Kötzschenbrodaer Straße in the south. In the east the area merges into a rural corridor; to the west there is a triangular area up to the intersection of Am Gottesacker and Kötzenbrodaer Straße, which is occupied by some private residential properties and the old cemetery. Due to the triangular area between the streets, the cemetery area is tilted slightly to the southeast. The cemetery area is fenced in to the west and along the streets by a quarry stone wall in which there are gates for the footpaths and the entrance to the chapel.

The cemetery chapel is on the western edge halfway between the two streets. To the east are the four oldest grave fields B and A on Kötzschenbrodaer Straße and D and C on Am Gottesacker. These four rectangular fields are bordered to the east by a wall pierced in the middle (the former eastern wall), on which there are numerous large wall graves on both sides. The four fields are separated by the middle path running east from the chapel and the crossroads running from north to south from the outer gates. The gates are dated 1873.

Cemetery gate from 1888

Behind the intermediate wall with the wall graves follow the four high-rectangular grave fields F and K on Kötzschenbrodaer Straße and E and G to Am Gottesacker. These fields are also separated by crossed paths. The gates of the extension are dated 1888. A triangular area is created between the tilted fields and Am Gottesacker, on the left of which there is a now separate residential building. To the right of this, to the east, east of the connecting path and to the north up to the enclosure wall, lies burial field H. The three most easterly fields are again delimited by an interrupted wall, behind which there is a part of expansion areas that merge into the field corridor.

The chapel on the western edge faces the cemetery with the gable side. It is a building with a kinked, tile-covered gable roof on which there is an octagonal roof turret with a bell tower. There is an apse at the back of the building .

In the center of the gable side is the main entrance as a round arched portal, vaulted by a correspondingly rounded roof made of copper sheet. On the edge of the portal the inscription “I live and you shall live too” can be read. A high octagonal decorative field is attached above the portal; In this there is "an artificial stone relief of the risen Christ as a triumphant over death." To the left of the portal is the master builder symbol of the Kießling brothers. The massive plastered building is illuminated from the side through tall, narrow rectangular windows.

The interior ceiling is formed by a Rabitz vault . Above the entrance there is a gallery across the entire width of the ship .

To the left of the chapel is an elongated, low utility wing with three arcades in the middle . To the right of the chapel is a high arched gate protruding into the tiled roof, so that the gable roof is vaulted up there. At the free end on the left there is a side-elevation-like porch. A bat dormer arches out of the roof above the central arcade for exposure .

The house in the now separated triangular field Am Gottesacker 33 dates from the 19th century. In 1937 the builder Kießling, who was in charge of the cemetery, added heights and provided it with a high hipped roof.
