History
A church-owned and operated cemetery with a size of 12 hectares, Luisenfriedhof III was consecrated in 1891 and the first burial took place on 19 June 1891. Two years later, a cemetery chapel was built.[1] The early Gothic red brick building was designed by Johannes Vollmer and Heinrich Jassoy.[1] The steeple of the chapel was destroyed in World War II. In 1905, the cemetery expanded to its present size.
