    The Nienstedten church cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in the Hamburg area. It was opened in the spring of 1814 without a formal inauguration.

    The Nienstedten cemetery covers an area of around 10.5 hectares with around 4,500 graves - from a 1-digit urn row grave to a 60-digit earth grave.
    This cemetery is characterized by a unique population of old trees in the older parts of the cemetery, as well as the obligatory hedge boundaries. Another feature of this cemetery is the many old and new rhododendrons.
