Sculpted in sandstone, a symbol of peace watches over the Lindener Berg Cemetery. This is the Friedensengel-Brunnen, Hanover’s oldest artistic fountain. The Friedensengel-Brunnen sits within the oldest part of the cemetery. The cemetery itself was established in 1862. Imagine it then, a quiet sanctuary on the hill, slowly filling with the stories of Linden’s residents. Now, picture 1884. The sculptor Karl Gundelach completes his work. The Friedensengel-Brunnen, with its central angel figure, takes its place as a poignant centerpiece.
