Blankenborn Cemetery
Rheinland Pfalz, Germany

76889 Blankenborn

Contributed by Recs Jenkins, Jun 09, 2004 [cemeteries@l-s-s.net]. Total records = 122.

Blankenborn is a village in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz and located northwest of Karlsruhe - max. 1 hour by car. The biggest town closest to Blankenborn is Bad Bergzabern.

The eldest of the present graves in the cemetery dates from 1905. The cemetery is well maintained and in good condition.

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.

The inscription "Zum Gedenken" (In memory of) on gravestones indicates, in general, that the body of the individual in question is not actually buried in the grave. In the cases of soldiers, the body was either never recovered or it was buried somewhere near the place where he was killed.

On many gravestones, an "Eisernes Kreuz" (German Iron Cross) - with or without the date of death - is used to show that the individual was a soldier either killed in action (gef. = gefallen) or missing in action (verm. = vermisst).

A birth date on a gravestone without an accompanying death date indicates that this person has not died yet, but intends to be buried with the family member(s) previously deceased and will share the gravestone with them.

Contains all visual burials from tombstone inscriptions, completed by myself and Andreas Driess on 10 Jan 2004. For further information, in German or English, please contact me at the above address.
