The New St. Nikolai Cemetery in Hanover was created between 1863–1866 between Strangriede and Militärstrasse (today's Appelstrasse). The cemetery area, surrounded by university buildings, hospitals, residential buildings and villas, is designed like a park. In the center is the neo-Gothic brick chapel built in 1890 according to plans by Friedrich Hölscher (1859–?) .

The location of the entire site, which is also protected as a garden monument, is the street An der Strangriede 41 in the northern part of Hanover.

history

The New St. Nikolai Cemetery replaced the Old St. Nikolai Cemetery near the city center . The inauguration took place on June 1, 1866. The entrance building, designed by city architect Ludwig Droste (1814–1875), was damaged in the Second World War during the air raids on Hanover and despite the possibility of rebuilding (reconstruction planning by Rudolf Steinmeier, 1946), it was torn down in 1960 and replaced with a functional brick building (architect Alfred Müller- Hoppe) replaced. The graves of many famous personalities are located on the approx. 5 ha large cemetery area.
