Originally, there were cemeteries north and south of the church on what is now Venatorstraße. To make way for the construction of the old Bierstadt town hall—which today houses the Robert Koch Elementary School—a new cemetery was established at Wolfsfeld in 1824.
A particularly striking burial site in the Bierstadt cemetery is the mausoleum of the childless Thoma couple. And the renowned Wiesbaden garden and landscape architect Wilhelm Hirsch—who, among other projects, designed the Reisinger Gardens at Wiesbaden’s main train station and the Opelbad grounds on the Neroberg, which serve as a model for the modern architecture of such facilities—was buried here in 1957.
The following types of graves are available at the Bierstadt Cemetery:
· Chosen burial plot for children
· Single-family burial plot for urns
· Customized lawn urn burial plot
· Row grave with lawn for urns
The cemetery
has existed since 1824 and
covers an area of 32,911 m²
