In the west it is bounded by residential developments, in the east by Linzer Straße (also a main road and part of the L 144).

history
Before the old cemetery was rebuilt in 1831, the churchyard of the parish church of St. Johann Baptist served as a burial place. No gravestones have survived from the time before. The old cemetery was originally called Pompbeuel - the name of the hill on which the cemetery is located. In 1851, 1865 and 1883 the burial place was expanded. In 1895 it was still in the middle of undeveloped land. In 1907 the New Cemetery was laid out on the southern outskirts of the city .
On the edge of the cemetery, two as a mausoleum serving grave chapels : one in the style of Gothic Revival and northwestern another which was built in honor of the 1887 deceased singer Mila Röder. A Byzantine dome is placed on top of it, the crypt is now walled up. The entrance area of the cemetery houses the oldest preserved graves.
On February 10, 2000, the Old Cemetery was entered in the city's list of monuments , after only the mausoleum for Mila Röder had previously been under protection. In 2011, as part of the renovation of Menzenberger Strasse, the southern wall surrounding the cemetery was renewed.
