    Tips

    Along the northern cemetery wall, next to the entrance, are gravestones with inscriptions, each crowned by a triangular pediment. The pediments feature coats of arms in relief and floral rosettes on the reverse. These date from the first half or mid-19th century.

    The three stately gravestones along the northern cemetery wall are distinguished as aristocratic tombs by their identical Neoclassical design, featuring triangular pediments, floral rosettes, and coats of arms. They were erected for Barons Friederich Carl Gustav Casimir (1770–1841) and Ludwig Eberhardt (1771–1831), both of Gemmingen zu Bürg, as well as for Baroness Mariane Wilhelmine Christiane von Gemmingen, née Baroness Truchsess von und zu Wetzhausen (1782–1851), and are significant testimonies to aristocratic burial and memorial practices of the first half and middle of the 19th century in the region formerly characterized by micro-territories of the knightly nobility. They also play a significant role in local history, as they were the last ruling lords of the castle and estate of the Gemmingen-Bürg line.

      Numerous members of the von Gemmingen family are buried in the Bürger cemetery. Among other things, there are the tombs of Ludwig Eberhard von Gemmingen (1771–1831) and his brother Friedrich Carl Gustav Casimir von Gemmingen (1770–1841). The historical tombstones that have been preserved include those of Gemmingen's bailiff and gardener Michael Teuscher and Gemmingen's rent agent Johannes Kausler from the 19th century.
