Goetzsches Mausoleum, Baroque mausoleum in Quedlinburg, Germany.

The square sandstone structure features pilasters at each corner, a mansard hipped roof, and two portals framed by columns on its northern and southern facades.

Built in 1726 for merchant Christoph Gebhardt, the mausoleum marked the northwestern boundary of the Marktkirche churchyard and underwent renovation by Mayor Johann Goetze in 1771.

The mausoleum displays two mourning female sculptures, an inscription cartouche with an urn, and a figure group representing Chronos on its western wall.

Located on Marktkirchhof street north of St. Benedicte Church, the mausoleum includes information panels on its south side detailing its historical background.

This structure remains the only surviving burial site from the former urban cemetery, which ceased operations in 1811 when the surrounding churchyard wall was demolished.
