About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

auch bekannt als: Predigerkirche (Christkatholische Kirche)

Im 13. Jahrhundert gründeten Dominikaner das Predigerkloster. Die Kirche steht heute noch und gehört der Christkatholischen Kirche.
Zum Kloster gehörte auch ein neben der Kirche liegender Friedhof, der seit dem 13. Jahrhundert benutzt wurde. Um 1440 wurde auf der Innenseite der Friedhofsmauer ein Fresko des Totentanzes gemalt (wohl von Konrad Witz und dessen Malerschule). 1805 wurde diese Mauer und Teile des Friedhofs von Basler Bewohnern zerstört. Entlang der Kirchenmauer wurde dann ein neues Gräberfeld eingerichtet. 1845 wurden dann auch diese Gräber durch die Erweiterung der Lottergasse (heutige Spitalstrasse) aufgehoben. Ob und wohin die sterblichen Überreste umgebettet wurden, weiss man nicht.
Heute befindet sich an diesem Ort ein kleiner, öffentlicher Park, für welche der Österreicher Herwig Zins eine neue Plastik, das Projekt 'Basler Totentanz'.
