This small (25' x 55') cemetery has one of the more unusual locations of any burial ground in Houston. It occupies a corner of a Spring Branch auto repair shop parking lot. It is fenced off but not locked.
When Heinrich Hillendahl emigrated from Germany in the early 1850s, this was prairie land. He purchased 80 acres for $2 per acre in 1854 and started a farm. Before the name was changed to Spring Branch, Texas this area was known as Hillendahl, Texas. Heinrich Hillendahl was a founder of St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Over the years the property increased significantly in value as did the property taxes. Hillendahl was forced to sell most of it for subdivision development. Apparently he refused to include the burial site. This plot is about all that remains of his land.
The cemetery owner (Harris County Appraiser Report 2018) is "Hillendahl Cemetery". The cemetery is maintained by Hillendahl descendants.
