Old cemetery from the 15th century in Horneburg.
Funeral site since the 15th century, located outside the Horneburg hamlet, as a replacement for the cemetery originally around the church. The present appearance of the round cemetery largely corresponds to that of the 1800s. Since 1973 there has been no more burial. The restoration, completed in 1991, secured not only the historical cemetery structure but also the location of the Gertrudenkapelle, which was destroyed around 1624 and traced by boulders on the earth's surface.
