In many churches gravestones stand and lie, epitaphs stand or hang on the walls. The church visitor often walks past them. When he looks at them, the inscriptions are difficult for him to decipher, emblems and iconographies are incomprehensible and the contents of the coats of arms are mysterious and remain a riddle. In the present volume tombstones and epitaphs of the Martin Luther Church Markkleeberg (formerly Gautzsch) are recorded as holistically as possible: Monument owners, materiality, condition, inscriptions are recorded and evaluated, heraldic signs described and genealogically analyzed. In the present volume tombstones and epitaphs of the Martin Luther Church Markkleeberg (formerly Gautzsch) are recorded as holistically as possible: Monument owners, materiality, condition, in and inscriptions are recorded and evaluated, heraldic signs described and genealogically processed. The memorial marks are thus made to speak supported by genealogical tables. This is supplemented by the presentation of the oldest document on the church at Gautzsch, a history of the bells, a description of the vasa sacra of the church as well as prosopographies of the pastors and the patronage members.
