Sowjetischer Garnisonfriedhof, Military cemetery in Albertstadt district, Dresden, Germany.

The Soviet Garrison Cemetery spans 2.3 hectares and contains 1,175 individual graves and 246 mass graves of military personnel and their families.

The cemetery was established in May 1945 after Soviet forces took Dresden, serving as a burial ground for soldiers who died from combat injuries.

The central monument features an obelisk created by Friedrich Press between 1947 and 1949, displaying reliefs with Soviet military symbolism.

The cemetery grounds are accessible from Marienallee and Kannenhenkelweg, located directly opposite the Northern Cemetery near Dresden's city center.

After Germany's reunification in 1990, the cemetery underwent extensive renovations from 1998 to 2007 under the management of the Free State of Saxony.
