The old cemetery was laid out in 1542 outside the city fortifications because the churchyard at the city church no longer offered any space. The last burial took place here in 1946. From 1985 the area was redesigned into a small open-air museum.

The cemetery directly on the mountain was created around 1542. The old preacher's house from 1786, which previously stood in the town church, has also found its place here.
