History and description

Although the village of Wülfel was first documented in the Middle Ages in 1284 , the construction of a " churchyard " was only dated to around 1450. During construction work on the site of the Wülfel Chapel , which was built around 1450 and demolished in 1916, rows of graves from a cemetery that had been forgotten before 1700 were excavated immediately south of the building.
The old Wülfeler Friedhof, about 400 m from the chapel, was built "[...] before 1811". From the second half of the 19th century, some tombs have been preserved in the old churchyard, one of which is considered a curiosity of Hanoverian cemetery art: a tree trunk with a snake from 1881.
The cast-iron urinal set up on the edge of the cemetery at the end of the 19th century is the last surviving specimen of its kind in Hanover , alongside the restroom formerly built in Hainholz .
In 1892 the cemetery was moved to Mittelfeld until it was incorporated into the Seelhorst city cemetery, designed by city gardening director Hermann Kube , from 1919 - also as the "Alter Wülfeler Friedhof" and similar to the Alte Döhrener Friedhof .
In 1920, the old Wülfeler Friedhof on Hildesheimer Straße was also given up and today serves in parts as one of 406 playgrounds managed by the Department of Environment & Urban Greenery of the state capital Hanover .
