    The old municipal cemetery near the Church of the Redeemer in Lohbrügg contains, among other things, the mausoleum of Wilhelm Bergner (1835-1904), the founder of the Bergedorf ironworks.

    To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Church of the Redeemer, built in 1899, the old cemetery grounds were transformed into a beautiful green space with an artificial waterway and a collection of old Lohbrügg gravestones.

      Wilhelm Bergner (* November 17, 1835 in Geesthacht; † 1905 in Hamburg-Bergedorf) was an industrialist and founder of the iron foundry and machine works Bergner & Nordenberg in Hamburg-Bergedorf.

      Two streets in Lohbrügge and Glinde are named after him.

      In 1864, Bergner relocated his machine works, which he had founded in Geesthacht in 1859, to Sande near Bergedorf in Denmark at the time.

      There it was renamed "Bergedorfer Eisenwerk" in 1867 and converted into a stock corporation in 1907.

      Bergner was one of the first industrial manufacturers in Bergedorf.

      Until around 1974, the white Bergner villa stood not far from the ironworks on the "Bergnerpfad" street, where he lived until his death.

      The villa and its outbuildings were demolished in the course of the construction of new buildings in today's "Ludwig-Rosenberg-Ring" at the corner of "Walter-Freitag-Straße".

      Only a few preserved old oak trees within the blocks of flats mark the area around the former villa and its small park, as well as the route of the Bergnerpfad, which no longer exists.

      A monument was later erected nearby by the building cooperative to commemorate the founder of the Bergedorf ironworks.
