Tomb of Franz Xaver Rewitzer

The honorary tomb of Franz Xaver Rewitzer is made of sandstone. Born in Munich in 1798 and deceased in Chemnitz in 1869, Rewitzer originally came to Chemnitz for the textile industry, but his career was primarily political. As chairman of the Chemnitz Craftsmen's Association and a liberal politician in the Chemnitz city parliament, he already held important offices before being elected to the Saxon state parliament for two years in 1848. In 1867, shortly before his death, he was a member of the Reichstag of the North German Confederation.
