Loschwitz Cemetery, Heritage cemetery in Loschwitz district, Dresden, Germany

The cemetery spans over multiple sections, featuring a meadow layout with an old part, a new section from 1918, and an urn burial area added in 1927.

The burial ground replaced the original Loschwitz church graveyard around 1800 when additional space became necessary for the growing community.

More than sixty graves display exceptional artistic value, including monuments created by prominent regional artists who lived in the adjacent Loschwitz Artists' House.

The cemetery contains a chapel built in 1893, designed by Friedrich Reuter, with stained glass windows created by Wilhelm Walther.

A monumental sculpture titled 'Death with Bomb' stands as a memorial to Dresden bombing victims, depicting Death carrying both a bomb and scythe.
