This is the largest cemetery in Idstein. It's owned and run by the city. The cemetery has a size of about 8.6 acres (34940 m²). There is a war grave section (WW I & II) with the graves of 244 people (10 of whom were civilians), known as the "Kriegsgräberstätte Idstein".


Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (15-30 years in Idstein) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period, the duration can be extended by another 15-30 years. Otherwise, the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker then used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also, the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it indefinitely.
