Abstract

The study deals with the fate of the former municipal cemetery in Liberec. The fi rst part is devoted to the circumstances of the creation and gradual completion of the image of the now-defunct municipal cemetery in Liberec, founded in 1832. The subject of the second part is a summary and evaluation of well-known and preserved works of art commissioned by wealthy Liberec burgher families, which refl ected the work of more prominent and also regional artists such as F. Somaini, J. and E. Max, V. Prachner, J. F. Elstner, J. C. Effenberger and Ph. Nitsche and others. Based on preserved archival materials and photo documentation, mainly from the 60s and 80s of the 20th century, a mapping of selected works of art was carried out, of which only a fraction has survived to this day in improper conditions in the area of the original cemetery, nowadays the park called the Garden of Memories.
