Hiking

The South Cemetery from 1869 is considered the first German park cemetery. Park cemeteries have irregular paths and architecturally designed hills and ponds alternating with forest-like areas.

Close to the main entrance, the burial site has the artificially created Kapellenberg, where the monumental hereditary burials of the wealthy middle class are impressive.

Since 1995, the area of the Evangelical Lutheran Church has been a listed building.

Its old trees along the enchanted paths make it so valuable.
