Located in the center of the city of Aschaffenburg, the Old Town Cemetery is the oldest of the nine cemeteries in the area. It was consecrated on July 18, 1809. There are 5200 graves in a 43,056 square yard area. Some of the grave markers were destroyed during World War II. In 1948 the city of Aschaffenburg decided to close the cemetery, leveling at least 250 graves sites before the plan was abolished. The decision to close it was canceled in the 1980s. So the cemetery is still active. There are military grave areas for wars fought in the 19th and 20th centuries. The cemetery grounds have well-manicured gardens, containing many beautiful 19th century sculptures as grave markers. A chapel is on the grounds. Upon entering the cemetery, you will find the oldest graves. In the center of the cemetery is a sculpture of the risen Christ, which was finished in 1924 by acclaimed sculptor Ludwig Sonnleitner.
