history

After the church cemetery around the Jakobikirche had become too narrow in the years after 1800, the parish of Kirchrode first laid the Evangelical-Lutheran Kirchröder cemetery on the street Großer Hillen during the time of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1864 , which opened in the early days of In 1876, the German Empire also opened the cemetery on Ostfeldstrasse , today 's Kirchrode district cemetery .

Also in 1876, the members of the in laid Anderten -based chapel community that due to the marl soil saw in Anderten there at that time no possibilities for excavation of graves, to the named after their place today neighborhood cemetery Anderten in the field of Kirchrode.

From the time the cemetery's opening comes the little chapel and the walled enclosure of bricks , as well as some copies of the old trees that led to the present a contrast to the cemetery surrounding new buildings.

In 1883 the Henrietten Foundation laid out the neighboring Salems cemetery .

A grave from the time of the Second World War dates back to the bombing of the Teutonia cement works during the air raids on Hanover in 1944 .

After the Second World War , the Anderten district cemetery was significantly enlarged by the now political municipality of Anderten in 1948. Around two decades later, the neo-Gothic chapel was initially expanded by the architect Hans-Albert Ahrens and then consecrated to Salvator , the patron saint of the patronage community of Bärenstein, located in the Ore Mountains . In the Salvator Chapel there is also a Pietà by the sculptor Siegfried Zimmermann .
