Riensberger Friedhof, Cultural heritage cemetery in Schwachhausen, Germany.
The Riensberger Friedhof extends across 28 hectares, featuring tree-lined avenues, a central lake, gently sloping banks, and numerous ornate gravestones.
Established between 1872 and 1875, the cemetery replaced several urban burial grounds as part of Bremen's reorganization of interment practices.
The cemetery includes a neo-Gothic brick chapel, three mausoleums, and over 70 protected artistic monuments made from alabaster, marble, and other materials.
The cemetery administration, managed by Umweltbetrieb Bremen, maintains historical gravestones through sponsorship programs and preservation initiatives.
The cemetery's terrain allows double-layered earth graves due to elevation changes, introducing a new burial practice to Bremen in the 19th century.
