Baiertal mountain cemetery
The Bergfriedhof in Baiertal , located in a district of Wiesloch in the Rhein-Neckar district in Baden-Württemberg , was put into operation in 1988. The funeral hall, built in 1987/88 according to plans by Wolfgang Bräter, can also be used for regular church services.
history
The old cemetery in the center of Baiertal, which was last expanded in 1878, became too small after the town was incorporated into Wiesloch in 1972 and new development areas were designated. An appraisal by the Cemetery and Monument Working Group spoke out against an expansion, so that in 1981 the community decided to build a new cemetery. These An in-hillside terrain with a size of 2.8 was hectares and with a height difference of about 20 meters on the southern outskirts of Baiertal in Won Schneider fields reported. The plans were drawn up from 1981 to 1984 by the architectural office for open space planning Reinhard Klose, Lampertheim, and then the earthworks-, road construction - and stone work awarded. The area was elongated and terraced irregularly. This resulted in numerous narrow grave fields that can only accommodate three or four rows of graves in a row, but can be reached barrier-free via the curved paths without stairs or steep inclines. After the planting and lawn work was awarded in 1985, the area outside the burial grounds was planted with ground cover , shrubs , solitary plants and small to medium-crowned trees, resulting in a park-like, closed landscape area.
Funeral hall
The Wiesloch architect Wolfgang Bräter created the plans for the funeral hall in 1986. The building was built in 1987/88 and inaugurated on November 19, 1988.
The funeral hall is located in the northwest corner at the highest point of the cemetery area and is built into the slope so that it can be entered from the access road, while the actual ceremony room and the outbuildings are located on a lower level on the cemetery area. The chapel is generously glazed to the east. With 70 seats and around 100 standing places, it is dimensioned so that it can also be used for regular church services in addition to funeral services.
