About this cemetery
The Stadtgottesacker in Halle is a Renaissance burial ground near the old town. In 1529 the ruler, Cardinal Albrecht, ordered the old burial places inside the city to be closed, in line with the 16th-century move to bury the dead outside town walls. The site was damaged in the war, and citizens saved it from decay in the 1980s.
