Friedhof Eiskuhlenberg, cemetery in Beetzendorf, Germany

The Gutsfriedhof Beetzendorf lies about one kilometre east of Beetzendorf on the road to Siedengrieben, at the Eiskuhlenberg. Laid out in 1870, it holds the graves of members, employees and guests of the von der Schulenburg family. Since 1896 a cross by Bertha von der Schulenburg has stood on the site of the 1871 crucifix by sculptor Peter Fuchs, which a storm destroyed in 1894.

The cemetery was established in 1870 and received a monumental cross in 1871, designed by sculptor Peter Fuchs. When a storm destroyed the cross in 1894, it was rebuilt and replaced in 1896, continuing to mark the site to this day.

The cemetery holds the graves of members, employees and guests of the von der Schulenburg family, including Charlotte von der Schulenburg (1798–1874), whose gravestone is among the oldest preserved here. A memorial plaque placed in 1993 commemorates those whose graves were desecrated after the family was expelled from Beetzendorf in 1945.

The cemetery is accessible on foot via the road to Siedengrieben, with trees providing shade throughout the grounds. Visitors should expect unpaved paths and wear respectful clothing, as this remains an active burial ground with ongoing family visits.

A memorial plaque has commemorated since 1993 those whose graves were desecrated after the von der Schulenburg family was expelled from Beetzendorf in 1945, among them Generalmajor Wilhelm Digeon von Monteton and Gertrud von der Schulenburg, long-time head of the Lower Saxon Paramentenverein of Kloster Marienberg in Helmstedt.
