Busenberg is a municipality in the Südwestpfalz administrative district in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. In 2015 its population was 1,206. Busenberg is located northwest of Karlsruhe, approx. 1 hour by car. The biggest town closest to Busenberg is Bad Bergzabern.

The cemetery is, as are all German cemeteries, well maintained and in excellent condition. Photos of most gravestones were taken in 2004 by Andreas Drieß. Later photos were taken and submitted by Reiner Peter.

The re-use of grave plots in Germany is very common. You or your family rent the plot for a period of 20 to 25 years (the time period varies from state to state). When this time period is up, church or civil authorities approach your family or next of kin concerning a rental renewal. If you have no next of kin, they can't be found or your relatives elect not to renew the rental, the plot is reallocated and re-used.
