View into a crypt from the Elias cemetery in Dresden. The coffins were stacked in a burial chamber walled in the earth. In contrast to earth graves, this leads to a considerable odor nuisance. Crypt buildings with arched front at the cemetery wall are a special feature of the Elias cemetery. The Elias Cemetery in Dresden, Germany, has been disused since 1876 and closed since 1924
