This is the cemetery of the congregation of "Neue Kirche der Evangelisch-reformierten Gemeinde Emden", or the Reformed Lutheran Church. The building itself was constructed from 1643 to 1648, destroyed in World War II and rebuilt thereafter. During restoration work in 2012 a layer of grave plates was found underneath the floor of the main nave. Altogether 87 graves were discovered inside the church, including that of the church's architect Martin Faber. Those are listed in this cemetery as well and indicated with a lot location inside the church.

One of several cemeteries in Emden.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse have decomposed naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever.
