Nikolaikirchhof Görlitz

Görlitz, Germany

The Nikolai Cemetery, most likely established in the 12th century and first mentioned in 1310, is the oldest cemetery in Görlitz, Germany. After the opening of the nearby municipal cemetery in 1847, the cemetery ceased to be active and subsequent burials were only carried out in exceptional circumstances. Despite not having regular burial services any longer, the 850 gravestones and 17 mausoleums inside the cemetery all remain in good condition, some of which date back to the 17th century.
