Euskirchen cemetery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Euskirchen municipal cemetery on Frauenberger Strasse was laid out in 1887 because the old cemetery on Kölner Strasse was full. The new area was designed as a four-field facility. The morgue was built from bricks in the neo-Romanesque style. In the mid-1950s it was replaced by a new building. Later expansion areas take the form of a landscape garden.

Currently 64 graves are under monument protection . These include elaborately designed tombs of families of cloth makers who determined the economic development of the city of Euskirchen in the 19th century .

Part of the complex is a cemetery of honor for those who died in the war and for deceased Russian prisoners of war.

The districts that were incorporated in the 1970s each have their own cemeteries. Many of them also have their own Jewish cemeteries , but most of them are no longer in use. One of them is the Jewish cemetery on Frauenberger Strasse on the same street .
