    in memory of those who died in WWII in Mödrath

    Hiking

    On the so-called "Schendsacker" was the old Mödrather cemetery, which was inaugurated in 1861 and was very controversial among the inhabitants of the place. However, his "predecessor" from 1487 had become too small, an expansion was inevitable.

    The reason for the quarrels was that the "Schendsacker", which used to be in every town, was used to bury the remains of dead animals. He was also 300 to 400 meters outside the former village and was also far too far away from the church. Nevertheless, it was officially inaugurated, 1881, however, this cemetery was too small.

    At this point was the cemetery of the village Mödrath, which was relocated in 1956 in the course of lignite mining.
