Cholera Cemetery at Niederholz

In the field mark "am Niederholze" halfway between Ringelheim and the Darmpfuhlsmühle on the south bank of the Innerste there is a fenced-in place with a high linden tree and a leftover sandstone tombstone. It is about the former cholera cemetery, which was restored by the Kolping family. The square was opened in 1855 by Graf v.d. Blankets given to the people of Ringelheim as a burial place, as there was fear of contagion if they were buried in the middle of the village. The cemetery was registered as a "prayer place on Niederholz" because after those years it was included in the prayer stations of the corridor procession during the hail celebration.

Very well maintained by private and without payment
