Today's Easter Church was built as a burial chapel for the Jacobi cemetery.

The Jacobipark is a public green space in the Hamburg district of Eilbek that is “important in terms of gardening monument preservation” . It goes back to two earlier burial places, namely the cemetery of the Hamburg main church St. Jacobi and the New Cemetery of the Evangelical Church Community in Hamm, and still contains some preserved grave monuments.

location

The approximately 6 hectare park is located south of Wandsbeker Chaussee and is bordered by Friedenstrasse to the east and Hasselbrookstrasse to the south. It is connected to the Hamburg rapid transit network via the Hasselbrook ( S1 / S11 , RB81 ) and Wandsbeker Chaussee (S1 / S11, U1 ) stations.

The park has a quiet garden with an artificial pond, a - at times "supervised" - children's playground, a bird sanctuary and, for some years now, a fenced dog playground. An approximately 500 meter long green corridor connects the Jacobipark with the Eilbeker Bürgerpark further to the west .

history

St. Jacoby and Hammer Kirchhof on a city map from around 1900.

The St. Jacobi cemetery on Peterskamp was created in 1848 because the old community cemetery immediately in front of the stone gate had become too small. In 1862 - on a strip along Friedensstraße - another burial place of the Hammer Dreifaltigkeits-Gemeinde was added, the old cemetery of which at that time also reached its capacity limits. Two years later, the neo-Gothic cemetery chapel, built according to plans by Alexis de Chateauneuf , was opened and has been used as a parish church ( Easter church ) since 1964 .

After the opening of the main cemetery in Ohlsdorf in 1877, burials in the two Eilbeck cemeteries were restricted and finally stopped in 1934. In 1954, the site was deedicated and redesigned as a public park, the remains of numerous prominent Hamburg residents were reburied in Ohlsdorf and a number of historical tombs were rebuilt there as museums. Only two family tombs and five grave monuments have been preserved at their original location and integrated into the park.
