Gravestones on part of the historical section of the cemetery

The municipal cemetery (also called the Iserlohn main cemetery ) is a partially listed facility north of Oestricher Straße and west of Dortmunder Straße in Iserlohn in the Märkisches Kreis ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

History and architecture

Resting place of the Eichelberg family in a Greek aedicule created in 1886

The facility with a crossroads and circumferential paths consists of different departments. Department I was laid out in 1827 and, since 1846, expanded to the north by departments II-IV. This part of the population is known as the old cemetery . From 1879 there was an expansion to the west to include departments V and VI. The grave monuments of the 19th and 20th centuries, made of iron or stone, reflect the interwoven structure of the Iserlohn entrepreneurial families. In the department there are tombstones of the first occupancy. They are differentiated according to social position; There are family grave counting tables inside the fields, as well as classical column and pillar monuments with various death symbols on the periphery . On the wall between the old cemetery and Departments V and VI are primarily historical tombs as pinnacles or monuments with figurative decorations. The tombs of the Eichelberg, Herbers, Möllmann, Schrimpff and Kissing families are adorned with marble sculptures by Robert Cauer the Elder . The cemetery chapel to the north is a hall building with a gallery . It was built from 1935 to 1939 according to a design by the Dortmund architect Josef Wentzler and, together with the outbuildings, forms a village-like group in the homeland security style .
