The Lutheran cemetery was established in 1895, surrounding the Paul-Gerhard-Kirche in Dresden-Gittersee. The cemetery is about 2.2 acres in size. A World War I memorial commemorates the fallen sons of the city. Not all of them are buried here. Many soldiers never returned.
Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-25 years in Gittersee) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 20 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it indefinitely.
