Enzenbühl cemetery
The cemetery Enzenbühl is a cemetery of the city of Zurich . Part of it lies in the municipality of Zollikon .
history
The cemetery was created 1900–1902 as a result of the overcrowding of the nearby Rehalp cemetery according to plans by city architect Arnold Geiser . When the Enzenbühl cemetery was also fully occupied in 1917, studies began to expand it and the Rehalp cemetery was prepared for repopulation. In 1932–1936, Konrad Hippenmeier and Walter and Oskar Mertens expanded the area so that the area was now around 10 hectares. In 1936, the responsibility for the cemetery between the city of Zurich and Zollikon was regulated, so that the cemetery came under police protection of the city of Zurich, although the southeast area is on Zolliker Grund. 112 graves are under monument protection .
layout
The Enzenbühl cemetery is located between Forchstrasse and Witellikerstrasse. The two three-portal portals open up the cemetery from the northwest, with access from Forchstrasse to the upper, older part of the cemetery, and access from Witellikerstrasse to the lower, younger part. Three paths separate behind the lower portal. Two narrower ones lead along the western edge of the cemetery, the middle path rises as a visual axis to the upper part of the cemetery, where the neo-Gothic abdication hall and the administrative and farm buildings are located. These buildings are located near the upper cemetery portal, from where the upper cemetery area is accessible. Of note is the bronze sculpture Reclining of Franz Fischer at the basin and the vase at the south end of the terrace of Luigi Zanini.
