The chapel at the St. Nikolaifriedhof, Hannover.
|
The cemetery was created in the 13th century in front of the Steintor. At the time there was a hospital as well. It served as cemetery for the Marktkirche and the Kreuzkirche. From the 16th century onwards important personalities from Hanover were buried here. In 1866 the cemetery became a park. In later years part of the cemetery was removed and in 2012 tombs were damaged during construction activities. |
