history

When the former cemetery around the Jakobikirche, first documented in 1295, was no longer sufficient for further burials, the community established its new cemetery on Kleiner Hillen in 1864 . From the period that followed in the last quarter of the 19th century "some beautiful gravestones [...] have survived". In the western, today “old part” of the cemetery, there are still “graves of old Kirchroder families: Borchers, Wulf, Meyer, Bremer, Behre, Homann, Wiese, Wichmann and Kracke”. The oldest preserved tombs, however, are those of "the economist Heinrich Rathing (1795 to 1876) and his wife Charlotte (1817 to 1881)".
The so-called Bödekerengel at the head of the grave site of the Erich Flügel family (1906–1984) also dates from the 19th century . Up until 2013, local historians had assumed that of the listed, formerly 15 copies, only the two in the Stöcken city cemetery and the Engesohde city cemetery in Hanover had survived. The Bödekerenangels were designed by the sculptor Georg Hurtzig in 1854 and created in Lauterberg . They were used by the then pastor of the Marktkirche in Hanover to collect donations, for example with the help of the North German Morning Promenade Transport Association that he founded .
In 1951 the cemetery was expanded to its current (as of 07/2013) total area of around 0.87 hectares by the new part , which extends to the southeast. Tombs of important personalities have been preserved from this period, such as that of the first Hanover city director after the Second World War , Gustav Bratke, who died in 1952 . In the “New Part”, for example, there is also the grave stele by architect Ernst Zinsser .
