The St.-Petri-Luisenstadt-Kirchhof cemetery extends across 11.3 acres of land, featuring numerous graves, monuments, and tree-lined pathways throughout the grounds.

Founded in 1838 to serve the Lutheran St.-Petri Congregation, this cemetery holds numerous war graves that are maintained as permanent memorials by the cemetery administration.
