history

Beginnings

Sexton's house

Cemetery cross

The chapel cemetery was first mentioned in 1348, when many Kissing people fell victim to the plague. The Marienkapelle belonging to the cemetery was built around the same time (although it is uncertain for the possible first mention of 1286 whether this refers to the Marienkapelle or the Jakobuskirche ; the first sure first mention of the Marienkapelle also comes from the year 1348).

The first, non-existent morgue of the cemetery was built in 1841. The former sexton's house on the front of the Liebfrauensee dates from the first half of the 19th century. It is a two-storey, plastered hipped roof building over a high sandstone base

The crucifix next to the sandstone Lady Chapel was made in the 18th century. It stands on a wide table base with a relief depiction of the sleeping Christ child. In the chest of a statue of Mary in front of the crucifix, also made of sandstone, there is a hole with remains of lead. Legend has it that the hole was made during the German War of 1866 when a Prussian soldier shot a Bavarian soldier standing on the crucifix from the west entrance of the cemetery; According to a variant of the legend, the Prussian soldier is said to have targeted the figure of Mary. The hole with the remnants of soldering lead comes, as the district home administrator Werner Eberth explains, more likely from a sword or dagger that was formerly attached to the figure of Mary and belonged to the Mater Dolorosa representation; the sword (or dagger) was stolen at some point.

In 1855 the cemetery was expanded for the first time.

Battle of Kissingen

Contemporary postcard representation of the battle of July 10, 1866

During the Battle of Kissingen in the German War between Austria and Prussia, the chapel cemetery was the scene of a battle on July 10, 1866. Due to the location of the Marienkapelle like a fortress between Kissingen on the one hand and Nüdlingen on the other hand as well as today's Bad Kissingen district of Winkels , the Bavarian general Oskar von Zoller wanted to block the way for the Prussian troops to Nüdlingen and the Kissingen district. 151 of the approximately 350 victims of the battle were buried in the chapel cemetery; 63 dead found their final resting place in the mass grave at the Germania opposite the Marienkapelle on Kapellenstrasse.

Kapellenkirchner Kaspar Betzer, an ancestor of the future mayor of Munich , Ferdinand Betzer, was arrested by Prussian soldiers when he tried to prevent Bavarian soldiers from being arrested in the Marienkapelle. Betzer had locked the Marienkapelle to protect it from being pillaged by the Prussian soldiers. After unsuccessfully claiming that he had given the key to his daughter, he finally had to hand it over. Writer Theodor Fontane , who does not mention the incident in his report on the German war, later obtained compensation of 50 thalers for Betzer.

The following war dead are buried in the chapel cemetery (list in alphabetical order):

Name / rank	annotation	tomb
August Becker Prussian musketeer	The tomb of August Becker (born September 8, 1841 in Dützen , died July 10, 1866), which is unusual for the rank of musketeer , is located on the north wall of the chapel cemetery. The grave inscription could also be understood to mean that in addition to August Becker, 35 other dead are buried in the grave. Due to the type of grave, however, it is difficult to imagine a burial of 36 dead at this point.
Paul Brzosowski Lieutenant, 6th Westphalian Infantry Regiment No. 55	Lieutenant Paul Brzosowski died from Bavarian bullets. Lieutenant Carl von Rex from the same unit as well as Fusilier W. Schuermann III and Sergeant Schmitt from Aschensleben are also buried in the same grave.
Heinrich Buchheit, Bavarian soldier	Heinrich Buchheit's tombstone, which has since disappeared, was long in the post-war period on the north wall of the chapel cemetery west of August Becker's grave. What is certain is that the city of Bad Kissingen had the tombstone removed; However, the reason and date are unclear.
Eugen Dewalt, one year volunteer	Eugen Dewalt was a conscript with an upper secondary diploma who was doing his voluntary military service as a military service in a unit of his choice.
Wilhelm Lüders, Prussian captain	Wilhelm Lüders, who was wounded during the battle, died on August 9, 1866 in Kissingen.
Friederich Johann Ernst Freiherr Reitzenstein-Hartungs Captain in the 12th Infantry Regiment "King Otto of Greece"	Friederich Freiherr Reitzenstein-Hartungs (born November 4, 1823 or 1825 in Kronach, killed on July 10, 1866) suffered a shattered shoulder from a gunshot and a liver injury from another shot, which ultimately led to death. He died shortly after he was brought to Kissingen. According to his wish, he was given a special grave; his grave monument comes from the sculptor J. Lang from Bayreuth.
Carl von Rex Lieutenant, 6th Westphalian Infantry Regiment No. 55	Lieutenant Carl von Rex died from a Prussian cannon. Lieutenant Paul Brzosowski from the same unit as well as Fusilier W. Schuermann III and Sergeant Schmitt from Aschensleben are also buried in the same grave.
Carl Heinrich August Rohdewald Major	Major Rohdewald (born in Detmold in 1821; died on July 10, 1866) is the highest-ranking person buried in the chapel cemetery. He fell in the battle at 6:30 p.m. on the top of the Schlegelberg pass between Winkels and Nüdlingen. The sarcophagus-like tomb, equipped with a hoplite helmet and a short sword, was erected by his professional colleagues and provided with an inscription. In April 2009 Anneliese Kuhnt from Bad Kissingen commissioned the Aschach sculptor Ludwig Bauer to replace the recently stolen hoplite helmet. The tomb is mentioned in Theodor Fontane's “A woman in my years”.
Ignaz Thoma, Captain II. Class	Captain Ignaz Thoma (born 1820 in Kaufbeuren, died on July 10, 1866) was the Bavarian combat commandant responsible for the defense of the chapel cemetery from the Prussians. After two hours he had to give up and was fatally wounded on the way to Winkels.
Eduard Warnberg, Bavarian officer of the Royal Bavarian II Infantry Regiment "Crown Prince"	Warnberg (born in 1827 in Ansbach, died on July 29, 1866), who was wounded during the battle, died at the age of 39 in the Hotel Schlatter military hospital in Maxstraße (last at vocational school). The tomb in all likelihood comes from the sculptor Michael Arnold , from whom a similarly designed design has come down to us.
Anton Weichselberger, Lieutenant in the Royal Bavarian II Infantry. regiment

19th century to the present

Crucifix ( Valentin Weidner , 1890)

Mortuary (1890)

Archway (1909)

Marian column

In 1890 another cemetery expansion took place, whereby the cemetery got its current size. As part of this expansion, the sculptor Valentin Weidner erected another crucifix, which was inaugurated on September 27, 1890. As the local " Saale-Zeitung " reported on September 30, 1890, "The figure of Christ [...] is of moving effect"; the six meter high crucifix made of Abensberg limestone "does Mr. Weidner a great honor." The neo-Gothic crucifix stands on an octagonal pedestal with pilaster strips and tracery ornamentation .

The current morgue, which was planned in 1885, was also built when the cemetery was expanded in 1890. The single-storey saddle roof building was built by architect Jakob Hergenröder in a round arch style. It is designed at the entrance area with a central triangular gable over a triple arcature .

The archway that leads to the cemetery with an area of ​​10,000 m² dates from 1909. An expansion planned between 1925 and 1929 did not take place because the park cemetery was built on the Sinnberg .

In the 19th century in particular, the burial complex became more and more elaborate as the prosperity of the residents to be buried increased. Many of the graves in the chapel cemetery were created by the Bad Kissingen sculptor Valentin Weidner , so u. a. the Huss tomb, the tomb of the Leo Schmitt and Hartmann families, the Vogel family tomb and the tomb of Anton Straus. The family graves of Pabst (1892), Albert (1910) and Haemmel (1911) come from his son Hans Weidner . It is possible that father and son Weidner created further grave monuments in the chapel cemetery, but that no signatures can be found due to weathering and overgrowth.

In the chapel cemetery is a Marian column created by Valentin Weidner in 1905. It is a neo-Gothic Madonna figure, which stands on a twisted column above a pedestal surrounded by a coat of arms. The Marian column was first erected in 1905 on Marienplatz at the Herz-Jesu parish church. In 1958 it was removed and replaced by a Marian column made of sandstone from 1716. Weidner's figure of Mary came first (without a column, which remained with the parish Herz-Jesu) in the convalescent home of the English Misses in Kirchehrenbach , who maintained an institute next to the Herz-Jesu parish church. Due to the abandonment of the convalescent home in Kirchehrenbach, the English ladies and the city of Bad Kissingen agreed on the return of the statue of Mary to the chapel cemetery; the parish Herz-Jesu left the remains of the columns to the city of Bad Kissingen. Several alternative locations (directly on the Liebfrauensee, in front of the Marienkapelle, in front of the former morgue) were rejected. The Marian column was finally erected on the east-west axis of the cemetery, so that the Marian column and Weidner's crucifix from 1890 are almost mirror images of each other on the transverse axis. The Bad Kissingen stonemason company Torsten Göbel received the order to supplement the damaged figure of the Virgin Mary and carved a new column base out of red sandstone based on Weidner's template. The Marian column turned out to be a bit smaller than in the original state. As part of a May devotion, the new Marian column was inaugurated on May 29, 1994 with the participation of a representative of the English ladies.

Matthias von Flurl monument (2017, detail)

The last burial in the chapel cemetery took place in the 1980s. Since then it has only been tended very carefully from a horticultural point of view, which, according to the city planning office, should reflect “the process of arising and decaying over the decades and in aging and withering”.

In 2012, the city of Bad Kissingen reduced the number of graves in the cemetery by 30 graves.

In 2014, district home keeper Werner Eberth founded a citizens' initiative in which volunteer citizens of Bad Kissingen maintain the grave sites in the chapel cemetery.

On July 15, 2017, a memorial for salt works inspector Mathias von Flurl was unveiled in the cemetery . He died of a stroke on July 27, 1823 during a stay at the Upper Saline in today's Bad Kissingen district of Hausen and was buried in the chapel cemetery.

Gravesites

The following personalities were buried in the chapel cemetery (names in alphabetical order):

Name / rank	tomb	annotation
Franz Anton von Balling (1800–1875) German balneologist, spa doctor and entrepreneur		The tomb created by Valentin Weidner was recognized by the local Saale newspaper on July 12, 1881 as an “excellent ornament”. The grave bust of Dr. Balling was stolen in the 1980s; the remaining bust shows Balling's wife Anna.
Gustav von Blome (1829–1906) diplomat of German descent in the Austrian service and politician		The tomb was created in 1906 and is signed by Valentin Weidner. The tomb is provided with a black cross made of marble and thus resembles the Kralert tomb. However, the Blome tomb is higher.
Georg Anton Boxberger (1679–1765) German pharmacist and ancestor of the important family of pharmacists in Bad Kissingen
Max von Coudenhove (1865–1928) Austrian lawyer and diplomat
Carl von Dapper , (1863–1937) German internist, balneologist and spa doctor
Oskar von Diruf (1824–1912) German balneologist and spa doctor		The tomb was made by the sculptor Michael Arnold . The authorship is evidenced by Arnold's ligated signature, a photo in Arnold's album of his works, and the family tradition of the Diruf family. Diruf's profession as a doctor is expressed by the Aesculapian snake on the column belonging to the monument. The grave plaque for Olga Diruf (1870–1875), who died as a child, is designed as an open book page.
Friedrich Daniel Erhard (1800–1879) German forensic doctor, district doctor and spa doctor
Adam Joseph Maria Valentin Donat Heusslein von Eußenheim (1755–1830) Cathedral Chapter at St. Kilian's Cathedral in Würzburg
Carl Leo Heusslein von Eußenheim (1838–1870) Bavarian officer		In 1870, Baron Christoph Heusslein von Eußenheim ordered the family grave facility on the north wall of the cemetery from the sculptor Michael Arnold. In the same year he died at the age of 62, as did his son Carl Leo Heusslein von Eußenheim, who died in the war of 1870 . The noble Heusslein family died out of Eußenheim, but King Ludwig II allowed baron-in-law Christian Lochner von Hüttenbach to call himself Lochner von Hüttenbach, "called Heusslein von Eußenheim". The family crypt was equipped with a life-size knight in armor. The grave complex was later destroyed by a rotten poplar tree that fell on the north wall. For a long time it was unknown to the Lochner family that the grave was created by Michael Arnold, but his authorship is proven by two corresponding photos in the album of his works that he created.
Valentino Del Fabbro (1866–1915) Italian craftsman ("terrazzo") and entrepreneur in Bad Kissingen
Mathias von Flurl (1756–1823) geologist, saline inspector		Saline inspector Matthias von Flurl, Kissinger spa guest from 1818 to 1820, died on July 27, 1823 on an inspection trip in what is now the Bad Kissingen district of Hausen and was buried on the same day. His grave was provided with a cast iron pyramid with an inscription. Relatives had it restored after being damaged in the German War of 1866 . It disappeared in 1883; von Flurl's exact burial place is no longer known today.
Donat Fuß mayor of Bad Kissingen		The tomb was created by the sculptor Michael Arnold. As the local " Saale-Zeitung " writes in its report on May 2, 1884, the grave depicted the deceased, "while one hand is holding a bent rosebud and the other is pointing to the heavenly home ." In Arnold's album of his works, however, there is a draft with the description "Monument to the young woman Julie Röther in the Kissingen churchyard" . According to local researcher Werner Eberth, Donat Fuß's tomb either looked different from what was described in the “Saale-Zeitung” or Arnold used the design again for Julie Röther's tomb.
Karl Ludwig Gayde (1844–1928) German master painter and decorator, from 1919 honorary citizen of Bad Kissingen		The tomb was built in 1900 and is signed by Valentin Weidner. The grave is kept rather low, consists of shell limestone and is equipped with two corner lanterns. It is surmounted by an Egyptian-style stele with black marble panels.
Otto von Gustedt (1839–1905) Prussian officer and wing adjutant to the Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm
Adam Hailmann Hotelier		The tomb on the east wall of the chapel cemetery was designed by sculptor Michael Arnold in the form of a neo-Gothic chapel. Arnold himself describes it in the album of his works that he has created as "In the sense of a chapel with an altar - 12 'high". Since the grave complex is made of sandstone, it is accordingly weathered; a broken stone bears the signature "M. Arnold ".
August Hailmann		The album of his works created by the sculptor Michael Arnold also includes a photograph of the Hailmann / Hmmerich grave complex at the south gate of the chapel cemetery. According to the signature, however, it comes from the sculptor Ferdinand Hümmler from nearby Nüdlingen . The tomb was possibly created in 1877, the year Arnold died. It is possible that Arnold's design for the tomb was finally carried out by Ferdinand Hümmler because of Arnold's work overload or his death in 1877. The 5 foot high Madonna figure belonging to the tomb has been lost. The city of Bad Kissingen's plan to demolish the heavily dilapidated tomb was not carried out after the disagreement of the city's home administrator Werner Eberth; instead, the tomb was treated for conservation purposes. Eberth's proposal to reconstruct the lost Madonna figure was not implemented due to ignorance of the figure's appearance (the photograph in Arnold's album was not yet known at the time of the proposal).
Philipp Hailmann (1832–1903) books and art dealer		The tomb was built in 1903 and is signed by Valentin Weidner. It is located on the southern wall of the cemetery. The central niche is made of black and white marble and shows an almost life-size, grieving woman in an ancient manner.
The Haring family		The family crypt of the Häring family was originally intended for the merchant Wilhelm Hironimus, who in 1856 ordered a "monument to the merchant Hironimus from Barmen with his bust in the cemetery in Kissingen, life-size bust" from the sculptor Michael Arnold, as well as the crypt no. However, there is no evidence of a burial of the merchant in Kissingen, which suggests that he changed his decision and sold the crypt to the Häring family. The Häring family placed the bust made for Hironimus to the left of the crypt on the cemetery wall between the Häring and Balling graves. The bust of Wilhelm Hironimus is still documented for February 1984 by a report in the local Saale newspaper from February 9, 1984 and was stolen a little later. Shortly before that in the same year, the town's home administrator Werner Ebrth had failed with his request to recover the bust.
Hendel family grave		The tomb was created in 1903 and is signed by Valentin Weidner. It is located on the southern wall of the cemetery. The two reliefs in white marble stand out on the tomb, which is in itself simple. The right relief shows the risen one . The left relief shows a farmer plowing against the sun and bears the slogan “I have to work as long as it is day, the night comes because nobody can work!”.
Johanna Hesse (1880–1958) German opera and concert singer
Baptist Hoffmann (1863–1937) German opera singer
Cyrill Kistler (1848–1907) German composer, music theorist, music teacher and publisher		The tomb, created in 1907 and signed by Valentin Weidner, consists of a stele on a tuff base .
Carl Krampf (1863–1910) German builder, brother of Franz Krampf
Franz Krampf (1875–1945) German builder, brother of Carl Krampf
Family grave Ernst Richard Krosse		The tomb was created in 1905 and is signed by Valentin Weidner. The mighty grave monument is not executed in a historicizing style. It shows a bronze relief by Ernst Richard Krosse.
José de Legorburu y Domínguez-Matamoros (1882–1935) Spanish major, writer, poet and aviation pioneer
Gerhard Linhard (1805–1880) forensic surgeon and surgeon, mayor
Andreas Lohrey (1843–1924) German builder
Friedrich von Luxburg (1829–1905) royal Bavarian chamberlain and district president of Lower Franconia		The tomb, built in 1905 and signed by Valentin Weidner, is located on the northern cemetery wall and is made of green sandstone. Obviously, it was simplified in the post-war period.
Johann Adam Maas (1784–1852) royal Bavarian district physician (medical officer) in Bad Kissingen and co-founder of the Bad Kissinger Theresienspital
Max Neubert (1863–1948) German entrepreneur and inventor
Jacques Pilartz (1836–1910) German photographer and court photographer for several German rulers
Christian Sandrock (1862–1924) painter and writer
Karl Schmidt (1834–1909) German entrepreneur and vehicle manufacturer
The Schöller family pension owners		The authorship of the sculptor Michael Arnold is evidenced by the album of his works that he created. The time of origin of the grave complex can only be guessed due to the severe weathering of the grave inscriptions; however, the year 1873 is possible. Son-in-law Michael Stöger (1849–1909; royal high school teacher and local historian) is also buried in the family grave. The life-size angel figure belonging to the grave complex overturned in 1994 and was put up again at the instigation of the town caretaker Werner Ebert.
Alfred Sotier (1833–1902) a German doctor
Paul Sotier (1876–1950) German physician and personal physician to Kaiser Wilhelm II in Doorn
Josef Steinbach (1815–1890) locksmith, master gunsmith, innkeeper, hotelier		The tomb was created in 1890 and is signed by Valentin Weidner. It is located on the east wall of the cemetery. The center of the tomb is the portrait bust of the hotelier Josef Steinbach.
Hugo Stöhr (1830–1901) German gynecologist and spa doctor
Karl Streit (1833–1902) royal Bavarian government auditor, saltworks administrator and art collector
Valentin Weidner (1848–1919) German sculptor		The tomb, which Valentin Weidner created for himself, is to the east of the choir of the Marienkapelle. The two steles show (to the left of the central cross) the Entombment of Christ and (to the right of the cross) the Risen One. In addition to Weidner, his second wife Anna Weidner, his third daughter from his second marriage Barbara Maria (called Betty) and Johann Fridolin Hofmann, the husband of Weidner's fourth daughter Maria Rosa, are buried in the grave.
Heinrich Carl Welsch (1808–1882) royal Bavarian spa doctor		The tomb was created in 1882 and is labeled “V. Weidner fecit (Latin: “has done”) ”signed. The marble bust of Dr. Carl Welsch originally towered over the southern cemetery wall and was subsequently lowered. It is said that nocturnal passers-by were afraid of the shimmering marble bust overlooking the cemetery wall. The material of the base does not match the rest of the grave.
Hermann Welsch (1842–1892) royal Bavarian spa doctor and author
Johannes Wiesinger (1821–1886) theologian, local and bath preacher, active in Kissingen from 1870 to 1882

Facilities belonging to the chapel cemetery

Lady Chapel

It is possible that the Marienkapelle was built as early as 1286, but it is uncertain whether the documentary mention refers to the Marienkapelle or the Jakobuskirche . The first reliable mention of the chapel comes from the year 1348. In 1727 Balthasar Neumann rebuilt the Marienkapelle; a lightning strike on May 7, 1790 made extensive repairs necessary. The last renovation of the church building so far took place in 1975.

Liebfrauensee

In front of the complex consisting of the Marienkapelle and the chapel cemetery is the 1076 m² Liebfrauensee . According to legend, his name comes from an apparition of Mary, which is said to have dissuaded a young man who wanted to throw himself into the lake because of a heartache.
