The Nackenberg district cemetery in Hanover is a cemetery complex in the Hanoverian district of Kleefeld that was laid out at the end of the 19th century and is now a listed building . The roughly 1.4 hectare large green area is located at Blumhardt Street 10 corner Freda-Niemann-Strasse .

History and description

During the time of the Kingdom of Hanover and until 1867, the residents of Kleefeld were buried in the garden cemetery on Marienstraße . But it wasn't until 1886 that Kleefeld received its own cemetery.

The cemetery behind a brick wall with its Gothic-style high entrance portal was opened in 1886. The oldest surviving tombstone , which was created around 1888 for August Gebhardt and his wife Sophie , also dates from the early days of the cemetery .

In the course of its history the cemetery has been redesigned several times. Finally, it presented itself as an almost right-angled surface, which is divided in the middle by two straight lines into four symmetrical rectangles, at whose contact point the partially modernized chapel rises.

In 1972 the occupancy was reduced, only a few burials took place in the 750 gravesites . The historical graves were to be preserved as far as possible and were temporarily placed under the administration of the Seelhorst city cemetery by the state capital Hanover .

From the end of the 20th century, the parish of the Petrikirche tried for about eleven years to reopen the Nackenberg cemetery, but failed for a long time due to the concerns of the Hanover city administration , as the five large municipal cemeteries with a total cost of 13 million euros (status: 2010 ) in Hanover had already been designed for a population of around 700,000 people - and a total of seven smaller cemeteries in the city area had been closed. Only after the Kleefeld citizens had collected around 76,000 euros in donations and the council of the Buchholz-Kleefeld district approved a corresponding application by the CDU , a contract on the self-administration of the Nackenberg district cemetery was negotiated at the end of 2010 .

The cemetery of the Stephansstift , which belongs to the property of the monastery, is very close .
