Kupfermeisterfriedhof, Cemetery and architectural heritage monument in Stolberg, Germany.

The Kupfermeisterfriedhof features numerous flat gravestones with inscriptions and heraldic symbols of copper master families from the region.

Established in 1686, the cemetery provided a dedicated burial ground for Protestant copper masters who moved from Aachen to Stolberg due to religious tensions.

The gravestones display the heraldic designs and family crests of about 40 copper master families who influenced the industrial development of Stolberg.

Five original gravestones from the 17th century have been relocated inside the nearby Finkenbergkirche church for preservation purposes.

Descendants of the copper master families maintain the right to be buried in this hilltop cemetery until present day.
