Founded in 1846, Der Stadt Friedhof (The Town Cemetery), has been central to the heart and story of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County, Texas.  Still active today, it is the oldest known cemetery within the Fredericksburg City limits. Der Stadt Friedhof is under the supervision and oversite of the Der Stadt Friedhof Cemetery Board.  

 

Currently there are upwards of 6200 graves in these 28 acres of hallowed ground. All have contributed in one way or another to the history, interest and success of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.  

 

Current efforts are underway to restore, preserve and maintain the final resting place of our town founders, ancestors, families and neighbors.
