history

Family grave of the entrepreneur and steam engines -Fabrikanten Conrad Engelke (1853-1912) in the old cemetery Limmer
Family grave of the Giesekes, including the master mason Heinrich Gieseke and the architect Heinrich Gieseke

After - as in other villages - the medieval churchyard of Limmer had become too narrow as a burial place, at the beginning of industrialization in the Kingdom of Hanover the parish of the St. Nikolai Church moved outside the old village south of the old country road to Harenberg in 1845 a new cemetery.

The cemetery was closed in 1902 in the late founding period of the German Empire , and the new Limmer cemetery on Eichenbrink Street was opened in 1905 .
