Cemetery Church (Stammbach)
The cemetery church in Stammbach is a Protestant cemetery church in the market town of Stammbach in the Upper Franconian district of Hof .
The cemetery was laid out in the middle of the 16th century. A chapel was rebuilt in 1615/1616 in place of an older one by Hans Pflugk from Kupferberg. The galleries were probably added in 1668. The wooden altar was donated by Albrecht Solger from Förstenreuth in 1692. The pulpit was built around 1700. A painting shows John and Walter Cunegonde from Fleisnitz that in 1709 the pulpit grasp left. The seating is modern. The church belongs to the dean's office Münchberg . It is under monument protection (D-4-75-175-7). In 2016 the parish celebrates its 400th anniversary, the church is the oldest building in the village and one of the largest cemetery churches in the region.
