The chapel is the center of the cemetery and was designed by the architect Franz Seeck. It is a 36 m high brick building with iconic columns in front of the entrance. The two smaller chapels are located on either side; they form the end of the wing corridors leading off from the main chapel. There are 192 urn compartments in these corridors. The north and south chapels offer a beautiful atmosphere for a small funeral service. The chapel was extensively renovated from 2003 onwards; the beautiful stained glass panes were supplemented using the original technique and partially replaced because they had been damaged by vandalism. The well-preserved terrazzo floor was cleaned and repaired. Proceeds from the Bürgerpark tombola were used for this, among other things; people are happy to buy a ticket for that.

Update 01/2024: The “Galop de Porc” has now developed on the former horse racing track. The green areas/project areas within the racetrack may only be accessed by project employees. (see attached image "Terms of Use") A publicly accessible, asphalted path now runs roughly through the middle of the former racecourse. Pedestrians and joggers may also use the outer path around the racetrack. (approx. 2.6 km per lap)
