Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf

Burial in God’s Acre, Herrnhut

Only the gravestones of the Zinzendorf family are raised. All other gravestones lie flat and are level with the ground to symbolize equality of all in death and before God. They are buried in the order of the day of their death without any special place of honor. Zinzendorf’s grave is in the middle (fifth from the bottom of the picture) surrounded by his family. Facing the front of the graves, Erdmuth Dorothea is to the right of the Count and Anna Nitschmann is to the left. The arrangement is as follows from top to bottom:

Henrietta Benigna Justine v. Watteville
Frederick v. Watteville
Anna Nitschmann
Nicolaus Ludwig v. Zinzendorf
Erdmuth Dorothea
Sophen Theodoret
Elizabeth v. Watteville
Frederick v. Watteville
