AKA
Friedhof der Evangelischen Kirchengemeinde zu Bremen-Vegesack

This is the Lutheran cemetery of the district of Vegesack, part of the city of Bremen. There is another, even older cemetery in this area next to the church of Vegesack. This one (at Lindenstrasse) was established in April of 1876. Some families then decided to rebury their family members in the new cemetery. A little girl named Frieda Lohmann was the first burial at Friedfhof Vegesack on 10 April 1876. The chapel was dedicated in 1930.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it.
