Add PhotosThis is one of the seven cemeteries in Marktheidenfeld, the other ones are
- Neuer Friedhof Marktheidenfeld (Friedhof am äußeren Ring)
- Friedhof Glasofen
- Friedhof Altfeld
- Friedhof Marienbrunn
- Friedhof Zimmern
- Friedhof Remlingen
They are all owned and run by the city and non-denominational. The Altstadtfriedhof has a size of less than an acre (7024 m²). As of November 2023 no new grave sites are available in the Altstadtfriedhof. The space is exhausted.
Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (10-25 years in Marktheidenfeld) 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 10 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.
