Grave field on the Hoppenlauffriedhof

The Monument Foundation Baden-Württemberg named the Hoppenlaufriedhof Monument of the Month for November 2015 .

General cemetery

history

It was founded in 1626 as a hospital cemetery following a donation of land by Johann Kercher . Kercher was the first to be buried there in 1628; by 1824 the cemetery was expanded to include around 7,000 graves. It received its current name in 1828. The last burial took place in 1880. The cemetery has its own Jewish section, which was closed in 1882. In 1951 the cemetery was closed with the last urn burial. When the oldest part was destroyed a year later by the construction of the Max Kade House, the Monument Protection Office raised no objection.

On the occasion of the Federal Horticultural Show in 1961 , the cemetery was redesigned into a park so that even less of the historical character was preserved. The gravestones were mostly removed from their original place in order to bring them into a more attractive arrangement. Two wells were also installed, which are still in operation today. In addition, a bad weather shelter was built for visitors. The fountains and shelter, as well as the artistic sculptures, are contemporary and offer a glimpse into the art tastes of the early 1960s.

Most of the tombs are in poor condition. If they are made of sandstone, layers and fragments flake off. Many of the inscriptions have been washed out and are difficult or impossible to decipher.

From June 2014 to 2020 the 1674 tombs of the cemetery are to be restored. The total cost is 1.5 million euros.

Israelite cemetery

The Israelite Cemetery was established in 1834 and closed in 1882. The rectangle of the cemetery takes up only a small part of the total area of ​​the Hoppenlaufriedhof and today borders with its south-western narrow side close to the Hotel Maritim and with its south-eastern long side close to the old riding hall , the other two sides border on the general cemetery. The cemetery is surrounded by a low wall. The main entrance used to be blocked by a wrought iron gate. The gate has been removed and the cemetery is now freely accessible. Only a moss-covered rock with the inscription “Israelitischer Friedhof 1834–1882” at the main entrance indicates that this part of the cemetery is the Israelite cemetery. A side entrance has a wrought iron door, which is also open.

A wall that borders the Israelite cemetery was smeared with anti-Semitic lettering in August 2020 . Thereupon the state security started investigations.
