Alter Friedhof Harburg

The cemetery stands on a hill south of St. Johannes Church along Bremer Street, connecting the inner city area to Harburg City Park.

Established in 1828, this burial ground replaced an older cemetery between Sand and Schlossmühlendamm, containing graves from the Franco-Prussian War and World War I.

A memorial dedicated to the '77ers' stands in the center, while terraced graves along the slopes hold remains of notable industrialists and dignitaries.

The cemetery received monument protection status in 1984, with a preservation association formed in 2006 to maintain valuable graves and conduct maintenance.

The last burials occurred in 1967, thirty years after its official closure in 1937, marking an extended transition period in the cemetery's active use.
