In 1605, a small cemetery for Protestants was established at today's Monheimsallee, making it the oldest Protestant cemetery in Aachen. The official field designation was Am Güldenplan, but among the older generation, it is also known as Möschebendchen, a synonym for cemeteries in the Aachen dialect.
From 1889 onwards, the cemetery was no longer in use, and the Protestant citizens were subsequently buried at the newly built Westfriedhof I. The cemetery at Monheimsallee evolved into a small park, its high wall protecting the tranquil oasis from the bustling traffic. Today, only a handful of weathered and barely legible tombstones are scattered across the area.
After 1945, the disused Güldenplan cemetery was integrated into the city garden as an immediate neighbor and separately placed under monument protection.
