In 1892, a devastating fire destroyed large parts of the Sander Tannen forest, a ridge of trees directly above the Geest slopes. However, this disaster also presented a new opportunity, as a separate church and cemetery could now be built on the vacated land. Planning began that same year, and just five years later, on January 10, 1897, a municipal burial ground was inaugurated "Auf dem Sande." The former cemetery has long since ceased to be a place of mourning, but rather an oasis of peace for the people of Lohbrügge.
