Sight 2: Neuer Jüdischer Friedhof
The New Jewish Cemetery is the second Jewish cemetery in Dresden and is located next to the Trinitatis Cemetery on Fiedlerstraße, at the corner of Fetscherstraße. On an area of 13900 square meters there are about 2600 grave sites.
Sight 3: Trinitatiskirche
The Trinitatiskirche was a church building dedicated to the Holy Trinity in the Johannstadt district of Dresden. It was built from 1891 to 1893. The bombing raids of February 1945 completely burned down its aisle, badly damaged the main walls and parish hall, slightly damaged the bell tower and completely destroyed the roof and interior. The debris began to be removed in 1945 and the tower provisionally repaired in 1950. The hall was rebuilt in the mid-1950s and plans in the 1960s to pull down the church ruins were stopped by the parish developing a project to build a room for church services and a conference centre, and so the church's ruins still remain.
