There are two parts to this cemetery in the village of Arnoldshain. The older part surrounds the Laurentius Kirche (church), a newer part is on the northern side of the Kirchgasse. Altogether it has the size of about 1.5 acres. The cemetery has two war memorials commemorating the fallen soldiers of the village. The older part dates back several centuries, but no old grave markers are left.
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 can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than 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.
