    With approximately 2,000 graves, the Bergfriedhof is the main cemetery of the Protestant community, which owns two other, smaller cemeteries in Obere Baiergasse and at Siechhof. The Bergkirche and Bergfriedhof complex includes the mortuary hall in the former Goldsmiths' Tower (which also served as a gymnasium for the Mining School) and the Seiler's Tower. At the end of the 19th century, the Protestant Women's Association had an apartment built here for the cemetery caretaker. He still lives there with his family today. The people of Sighisoara have probably been burying their dead on the western slope of the mountain since the 18th century.

      The mountain cemetery is part of the Schäßburg World Heritage Site. It is maintained by the Protestant Church and shows how many Transylvanian-Saxon generations have lived here. A walk through history.

        Impressively large and beautiful very old cemetery, located under trees on the slope, very worthwhile to look at.
