description

The cemetery of St. Zeno is located at Salzburger Straße in Bad Reichenhall and connects directly to the Church of St. Zeno and the monastery of St. Zeno on. The wall around the cemetery was built in the 19th century and there are many tombs from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The old part of the cemetery is separated from the new part by a wall running from northwest to southeast, which is about 40 meters behind the morgue .

Individual monuments

Inscription grave column

In the description of the monuments, the State Office for Monument Preservation specifies the following objects:

  • Cemetery, old part; with walls from the 19th century and tombs from the 19th and early 20th centuries;
  • Grave column (grave monument / grave stele); Grave column for dean Johannes Nepomuk Doff, pastor of St. Zeno, Gothicizing, 1904;
  • War memorial; Obelisk from 1871.

The grave column, which is recorded in the Bavarian Monument Atlas and can be clearly identified both with its position and with a photo, is not for Johannes Nepomuk Doff, but for Johannes Nepomuc Peter, his nephew Georg Holnsteiner and his wife Therese Holnsteiner.

layout

Boulder as a tombstone

At the St. Zeno cemetery there are predominantly rectangular tombstones. A wide variety of materials are used for this, such as B. the regional Untersberg marble . Forged or carved grave crosses made of iron or wood, as they are often found in cemeteries in Bavaria, are the exception in St. Zeno. The graves usually have a rectangular floor plan and are bordered with curb stones. The graves of wealthy citizens are usually placed directly on the cemetery walls, are larger and often decorated with elaborate stone carvings. Some graves have a large boulder instead of a tombstone and others are only covered with a grave slab.

The grave sites are mostly laid out geometrically in fields and rows. The paths and spaces between the grave sites are - with the exception of the access to the church from the southern cemetery gate - gravel . To the north of the funeral hall and in the new part of the cemetery, the rows of graves are divided by low hedges. An urn burial is also possible in the earth graves ; in addition, niches for urn burial have been built into parts of the cemetery walls.

New columbarium

At the turn of the millennium, a columbarium was added to the old southwest part of the cemetery . The city administration and the architect have opted for a "wild appearance".
