Origins and development
Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel designed the grounds and chapel, which were inaugurated on 16 July 1883. Central buildings were destroyed on 13 February 1945. The chapel reconstruction ended in 1956; the four Evangelist figures at its entrance were moved here in 1962 from the demolished Erlöserkirche.
The cemetery was established in 1883. The cemetery is in Striesen, eastern Dresden, at Gottleubaer Straße 2, 01277 Dresden. Its area is approximately 5.95 hectares.
Design and present-day character
This neighbourhood cemetery on Gottleubaer Straße combines its chapel, historic family graves, Luther lime tree and on-site cemetery gardening service. It opened in 1883 and was rebuilt after serious destruction in 1945.
Read this character description together with the development of Striesen Cemetery: it identifies what gives the grounds their present identity without turning the cemetery into a purely historical attraction. A visit can focus on spatial structure and named orientation points while leaving individual graves undisturbed.
