'''Death Records in the City Archive of Leipzig''' | |||
Since 1595 the death records of the city of Leipzig were not recorded as usual by the Church but were written down by the city council's office. This office issued burial certificates which the gravedigger needed. After the burial the certificate was returned and collected in the so called Leichenbuch. Since 1846 the burial certificates have been arranged alphabetically. | Since 1595 the death records of the city of Leipzig were not recorded as usual by the Church but were written down by the city council's office.
