The diving cemetery in Bautzen got its name from a chapel that was moved from the diving forest near Uhyst to the cemetery. The diving cemetery was consecrated in 1523 and received its first enclosure in 1630. Extensions took place between 1598 and 1899 and a morgue was also built in 1885. The baroque Grufthausstrasse from the 18th century and numerous grave monuments from the last four hundred years are remarkable.

If you like to look at tombstones, there are many and very beautiful ones. The famous baroque crypt streets are, however, very dilapidated.

Hiking

Many historic tombstones and beautiful trees. A visit is particularly recommended in summer, as almost the entire cemetery is in the shade. Information about the cemetery including opening hours:
