Guided Story
Can you feel the peace surrounding you here? The old gravestones tell stories of days long past. Take a look around, see the weathered stones marked by time. Did you know this cemetery has been closed since 1854? Just 15 meters away from you stands the Evangelical Church of Unterburg. It was the heart of the community life, even as this cemetery closed its gates forever. Behind you, the Wupper River flows gently by. Imagine the people of the past walking along the river, maybe heading to church or the market. This place is a silent monument to those who came before us, a spot for reflection and remembrance.
