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.[ citation needed] 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.
