Facts and practical information

The Soviet Garrison Cemetery in Dresden was established from May 1945 as a war gravesite for the Red Army. From 1946 to 1987 it was officially used as a site cemetery for the soldiers and officers of the Soviet Army who died during the occupation, their family members, and for civilian employees of the military, and during this time it was expanded three times by the city of Dresden. From 1968, however, occupancy was sporadic. The Soviet Garrison Cemetery is listed as a property, see List of listed property in Dresden #Churches and cemeteries.
