history
The central cemetery was created from 1924 to relieve the castle cemetery located at the Godesburg in the center of Bad Godesberg . In 1928, the then independent city announced an architectural competition for the buildings to be built on the new cemetery , to which 12 entries were received. An administrative jury decided on one of two anonymously submitted designs by the local architect Willy Maß . This was implemented in 1930. These included a chapel with a morgue and a gatehouse , which stylistically can be assigned to Expressionism with elements of New Objectivity and are among the most important works by Maß.
Originally the morgue was equipped with three colored glass windows each on the right and left and an open portico . After 1933, wrought-iron windows and doors with stained glass were used. The main gate to the cemetery was provided with two swastikas and an inscription that has been changed today.
