The Old Cemetery lies right behind the Stadthaus. Elector Joseph Clemens commissioned it in 1715, intended for residents and soldiers. At the end of the eighteenth century, it became the city cemetery, and even the grave of Beethoven's mother is to be found here. Other well known personalities, such as Charlotte von Schiller, the professors Wilhelm von Schlegel, Ernst Moritz Arndt, Friedrich Argelander, Friedrich Dahlmann and Karl Simrock also have their graves here. Clara and Robert Schumann, the poet Wilhelm Schimdtbonn and Adele Schopenhauer rest here. Some graves are particularly worth seeing, such as those of Schinkel, Rauch, Stüler and Cauer. As an extension of the cemetery has not been possible since the nineteenth century, it was closed for general burials in 1884.
