Rahlstedt cemetery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rahlstedter Friedhof (actually: Evangelical Cemetery Rahlstedt ) has been the burial place of the Evangelical Lutheran parish in Alt-Rahlstedt (today in Hamburg ) since 1829 . It is 8.5 hectares and has 19,000 burial sites. The cemetery was created as a replacement for the old churchyard around the Rahlstedter church and was intended as a burial place for the communities of Berne , Braak , Farmsen , Meiendorf , Oldenfelde , Stapelfeld and Stellau , which belong to the Altrahlstedter church . Each of these communities was assigned its own cemetery there. - The old cemetery was leveled in 1844.

Since 1964 the field for the pastors to the left of the chapel has been dominated by the white marble crucifix created by the Rahlstedt sculptor Artur Wiechert , which has been on the altar of the Altrahlstedt church since 1926. The oldest preserved tomb is the cast iron cross from 1837 for the community midwife Sophie Dorothea Freerks.
