history

The Hennings brothers' mourning hall

After the division and settlement of the Dahlem domain began in 1901 , the capacity of the St. Anne's churchyard was soon no longer sufficient. Therefore, from 1908 to 1909, the Dahlem municipal cemetery was laid out in the immediate vicinity of the St. Anne's churchyard, enclosing it in an L-shape. It is a little lower than the churchyard and is connected to it by two flights of stairs.

In 1908 the brothers Friedrich and Wilhelm Hennings designed the gate to the cemetery and the funeral hall, a timber frame building clad with boards with a hipped roof , matching the country houses in the Dahlem area. Behind a small open vestibule is an octagonal central room under basket arches .

In 1928/29 the cemetery was redesigned by Paul Kühnel and Max Dietrich .
