Dom St. Marien zu Freiberg
Freiberg, Landkreis Mittelsachsen, Saxony, Germany
Ev.-Luth. Domgemeinde Freiberg
Untermarkt 1
09599 Freiberg
Germany
Around 1180, the basilica "of our Lady" (also known as ) was built in Freiberg, which was developing rapidly due to the silver that had recently been found in the Ore Mountains. In 1480, the church was turned into a Collegiate church. However, the collegiate was dissolved after only 57 years due to the reformation in Saxony. Between 1541 and August II the Strong's conversion to Catholicism, nine rulers of Saxony were buried in the quire of the cathedral. August's mother and her sister are buried in the sisters' crypt in the All Saints chapel. Their tomb, created by the Saxon Baroque sculptor Balthasar Permoser, had originally been situated in the Lichtenburg at Prettin, but was moved to Freiberg in 1811. The cathedral is still used for services by the Lutheran congregation. It can be visited daily for a fee in guided tours. After the destruction of the Sophienkirche in Dresden during WW II, several coffins of Saxony's nobility had been moved to the Freiberger Dom in 1950 for safety reasons.
The city has several other cemeteries:
► Zentralfriedhof Freiberg
► Friedhof Freiberg-Zug
► Donatsfriedhof
► Russischer Ehrenfriedhof Freiberg
► Johannisfriedhof
► Friedhof der Heimatvertriebenen
