Champs-Bruley Cemetery
The Champs Bruley cemetery is a municipal cemetery located in Besançon (France) between the Chaprais, Bregille, Les Clairs-Soleils, Clairs-Soleis and Vaites, Vaîtes districts. Opened in 1793 and still active as of 2019, it is the oldest burial ground managed by the city. The cemetery, when constructed, was intended for use by any inhabitant of the area. Because it did not have a nearby Catholic church, and also because the site has an uneven topography and was viewed at the time as being isolated, the predominantly Catholic Besançon, Bisontin community did not use it. This led to it being viewed as a burial ground for "undesirable citizens": The sick, condemned prisoners and non-Catholics. Over time, it was seen as a ''de facto'' Lutheran-only burial ground and in 1824 was officially designated as a Lutheran cemetery, following the construction of the Les Chaprais, Chaprais Cemetery.

Cemetery
A cemetery, burial ground, gravesite or graveyard is a place where the remains of dead people are buried or otherwise interred. The word ''cemetery'' (from Greek , "sleeping place") implies that the land is specifically designated as a burial ground and originally applied to the Roman catacombs. The term ''graveyard'' is often used interchangeably with cemetery, but a graveyard primarily refers to a burial ground within a churchyard. The intact or cremated remains of people may be interred in a grave, commonly referred to as burial, or in a tomb, an "above-ground grave" (resembling a sarcophagus), a mausoleum, columbarium, niche, or other edifice. In Western cultures, funeral ceremonies are often observed in cemeteries. These ceremonies or rites of passage differ according to cultural practices and religious beliefs. Modern cemeteries often include crematoria, and some grounds previously used for both, continue as crematoria as a principal use long after the interment ...

Lutheran
Lutheranism is one of the largest branches of Protestantism, identifying primarily with the theology of Martin Luther, the 16th-century German monk and reformer whose efforts to reform the theology and practice of the Catholic Church launched the Protestant Reformation. The reaction of the government and church authorities to the international spread of his writings, beginning with the '' Ninety-five Theses'', divided Western Christianity. During the Reformation, Lutheranism became the state religion of numerous states of northern Europe, especially in northern Germany, Scandinavia and the then- Livonian Order. Lutheran clergy became civil servants and the Lutheran churches became part of the state. The split between the Lutherans and the Roman Catholics was made public and clear with the 1521 Edict of Worms: the edicts of the Diet condemned Luther and officially banned citizens of the Holy Roman Empire from defending or propagating his ideas, subjecting advocates of Lutheranis ...

Protestantism In Besançon
Besançon is a city in eastern France, about 55 miles from Dijon. As the Protestant Reformation grew in Europe, it arrived in Besançon between 1520 and 1540 through the work of the theologians Guillaume Farel and Théodore de Bèze, and the local writer Claude Goudimel (1510-1572), a composer of Protestant hymns. The locals slowly embraced the new faith, although it was condemned by the national Catholic church. In the 1520s, Besançon officially recorded the existence of the Reformation in its ''acta capituli'' ("acts of the chapter"). The Catholic Church launched actions against Protestants, who were deemed to be heretics. It was forbidden to speak to Lutherans in 1527, and the emperor issued a defensive order for Franche-Comté in the same year. In 1528, two monks, Coquillard of Reims and Lambellin, were executed and others were banished. Several academics and humanists were arrested for being " erasmians”, “being in bad faith" or "readers of bad books”. Tensions co ...
