The New Cemetery in Ludwigsburg is a cemetery that was laid out in the 19th century.
history
The cemetery was inaugurated in 1880. In 1901, shortly before the Old Cemetery was abandoned, its southern part was given its current shape.
The neo-Romanesque cemetery chapel at Harteneckstraße 54 was built in 1901/02. Heinrich Dolmetsch was involved in the planning of this brick building , which was installed in the central axis of the west side of the cemetery . Otto Eichert converted it into a crematorium in 1927 . The choir was redesigned around 1970. Since 1994, cremations have not taken place in the New Cemetery, but in Oßweil .
In Harteneckstraße 82, a funeral hall with adjoining rooms was built on a northern extension. This hall, built on an elevation in 1964, was designed by Erwin Rohrberg . It has its own campanile . Its interior was redesigned around 1970.
South of the funeral hall, two more brick buildings were erected in 1906, the cemetery administration and the morgue at Harteneckstrasse 46. The brick buildings at Neckarstrasse 17 and 27, which were built as a cemetery attendant's house and a depot building, also date from the same period.
The southern part of the cemetery is surrounded by a wall. There are many civil grave monuments from the first decades of the 20th century, mostly in a historicizing style. Well-known Ludwigsburg families had their family graves laid there; B. the families Lotter, Vetter, Schmid, Kling, Heuss-Stöckinger, Metzger, Cluss, Hardegg, Ungeheuer, Feyerabend, Wagner-Braun and Essig. The members of the Franck family were buried in a terraced, extensive grave complex. A monument in the form of a high canopy, designed by Paul Bonatz and made of concrete, commemorates General Wilhelm von Lotterer . The grave of the drawing teacher Gottlieb Löffler had a simple tombstone , in which his wife as well as the son Walter Loeffler and the daughter-in-law were buried.
The area of the New Jewish Cemetery has its own enclosure , on which grave monuments from the period 1900 to 1937 have been preserved. There were z. B. Members of the Elsas, Israel, Löwenthal, Ottenheimer and Weil families are buried.
