Nieder-Erlenbach used to be an independent village dating back to the 8th century. Since 1972 it is part of Frankfurt/Main.

There are two cemeteries in Nieder-Erlenbach, this is the listing for the newer cemetery. It has the size of about 1.2 acres with around 700 burial plots. The cemetery has a mourners' hall for funeral services, which seats about 40 people.

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. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. 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 indefinitely.
