Overview

Der Stadt Friedhof serves as a vital landmark reflecting the birth and growth of Fredericksburg, Gillespie County, and the broader American story.
Those interred here witnessed the massive German migration, the era of slavery, and the Civil War, while later generations answered the call to arms to serve in almost every U.S. military action and war.
As the final resting place for these brave veterans, alongside the community's most prominent citizens, the cemetery honors individuals whose lives significantly shaped the expansion, protection, and cultural fabric of our nation—leaving an enduring legacy for all of us.
