The cemetery was built in the year of the plague of 1626. A little later, in 1629, the cemetery wall was built with stones from the fort.

The chapel was built in 1947 from the stones of the blown up railway viaduct.

The Benninger Friedhof is a natural monument.

The Benningen cemetery is a natural monument. It was built outside the town in the "year of the plague" of 1626, because the churchyard was not big enough. The cemetery wall was built in 1629. The chapel was built in 1947 from the stones of the blown-up railway viaduct. The birch trees in the avenue are sleeping and resting places for long-eared owls.
