The Katholischer Friedhof Blumenthal’s story began in the early 20th century. Blumenthal was then an independent land community. Industrialization caused a population boom. This increased the Catholic community’s size. The existing Catholic burial ground was too small. A new cemetery was needed.
A vacant green space near the Weser’s eastern bank was chosen. The narrow site features geometric burial plots. A central path runs through them. A small administration building houses the cemetery office and a chapel. The Katholischer Friedhof Blumenthal was consecrated in 1911 after construction. It opened for burials. Blumenthal was incorporated into Bremen during a 1930s regional reform. The newly formed Catholic parish of Bremen-Blumenthal took over management.
