Cemetery keeper's house (Aurich)

The cemetery keeper's house.

The cemetery keeper's house in the East Frisian district town of Aurich ( district of Aurich , Lower Saxony ) was built in the entrance area after the new cemetery was laid out in 1806.

history

The old cemetery of the city of Aurich was located directly at the Lambertikirche in the inner city area. The space available there was limited, however, so that in 1805 the church and town had the “New Cemetery” built on von-Jhering-Straße to the northwest in front of the ramparts. There the architect Conrad Bernhard Meyer built the cemetery attendant's house on behalf of the community one year after the cemetery was laid out. It is a two-winged classical gate building with a hipped roof, which is decorated with two pilasters that look like Baroque .

The old cemetery was finally given up in the years 1815 to 1818 after great resistance from the Aurich population had been settled.
