This Lutheran cemetery is owned and managed by the St. Christophorus Congregation of Dresden-Wilschdorf-Ränitz. It was opened in 1893, when the old churchyard across the street (surrounding the St. Christophorus Church) ran out of space. It is only 2.356 m² or half an acre in size.
Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) 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 20-30 years. Otherwise, the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker then 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.
