In 1893 a chapel was added, by the architect Friedrich Reuter. The stained glass windows are by Wilhelm Walther, the creator of the Dresden "Fürstenzug"; the scene of the Crucifixion over the centre portal is by the sculptor Johannes Hartmann from Leipzig. The chapel bell with an inscription "Frieden" ("Peace") was made in 1947 by Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling from Apolda. During the flooding of the Elbe in 2002 the cemetery was under water, which damaged the many trees and plants. The damage was made good by volunteers.
