Further information
The Schosshalden cemetery, built in 1877 to replace the Stalden cemetery (today's Rosengarten), is located on the border with the municipality of Ostermundigen. The cemetery has been extended five times. The last extension in the years 1950 - 1952 by the Bernese landscape architect Franz Vogel senior gave it its current size of 16.8 hectares. The municipality of Ostermundigen is part owner of the cemetery and also buries its dead there. © City of Bern
