The Kirchhorst church cemetery in Isernhagen , district of Kirchhorst , is a listed church cemetery in the Hanover region with its green space and several historical tombs .

History and description

To the south of the center of the cemetery is the St. Nikolai chapel, used as the church of the Evangelical Lutheran community . The ensemble , which includes the former rectory and the old school , forms the structural and content-related center of the former village, which was under the control of the lords and junkers of Cramm, and is overshadowed by old oaks .

Similar to the grave stelae translocated from the church cemetery to the interior of the chapel , which are now set up within the foundation walls dated from the 12th century , there are also "some baroque and oversized relief steles " in the outside area at the edge of the church yard , such as the tomb of the Grethe family .

In the trunk of a beech tree that grew in the cemetery , the initials J. B. and the Roman numerals XXXIX , which were carved a generation ago, recall the writer Ernst Jünger and his family, who had lived in the nearby former parsonage from 1939 onwards from the first year of the Second World War .

According to the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge , the Kirchhorst cemetery also contains "[...] 3 dead from the Second World War and the National Socialist tyranny ", as well as a German soldier and two Soviet prisoners of war .
