The cemetery, which was established in 1825, was built where, according to tradition, the reformer Heinrich von Zütphen was executed in 1524 after being abducted from Meldorf and a mock trial. The old part of the cemetery is surrounded by a row of linden trees and is divided into four areas by two linden tree avenues.

At the intersection of the avenues there is an obelisk as a memorial to Heinrich von Zütphen.

Nearby there are older gravestones and a split boulder that is said to stand on the site of the pyre.

In the south of the cemetery, next to a conspicuously grown weeping beech, is the grave of Theodor Griebel, an important politician from the time of the Prussian annexation of Schleswig-Holstein in 1866, who fought in vain for the independence of the duchy.

The North Cemetery of Heide has an interesting history. It was created at the place where it was wrongly assumed that the reformer Heinrich von Zütphen was supposed to have been killed in 1524 after being abducted from Meldorf and in a sham trial. At the intersection of the four lime trees there is now a monument.
The grave of Theodor Griebel can be found in the south.
