Johannisfriedhof, Dresden, Cemetery and heritage monument in Tolkewitz district, Dresden, Germany.
The cemetery extends across 24.6 hectares of land and contains a Neo-Renaissance chapel featuring a prominent dome designed by architect Paul Wallot in 1894.
The Protestant church acquired this burial ground in 1875 to replace old Lutheran cemeteries, leading to its consecration and first recorded burial in 1881.
The cemetery holds graves of prominent individuals including architect George Bähr, organ builder Gottfried Silbermann, and Prussian general Prince Kraft of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen.
The cemetery management office operates Monday through Friday with specific hours, offering guided tours and maintaining records of historical burials.
A jury led by Lutheran bishop Margot Käßmann recognized Johannisfriedhof as Germany's most beautiful cemetery in 2011.
