Alter Friedhof
The old cemetery in Schwenningen is known for its unique tree population.
Beschreibung
The 3.6-hectare Old Cemetery was established at around the same time as the industrialisation of clock production began. However, due to the growing population of Schwenningen, the cemetery became too small, which led to its closure. From 1961 to 2004, it was used as a public green space. It later became a cemetery for urn burials in tree and communal graves. In addition to the war graves, the cemetery also contains numerous historical graves, including those of important Schwenningen manufacturing families.
