Friedhof Trenkebergstraße

Among the oldest pieces from the Rodenkirchen area is a stone cross of about 95 cm from 1540. It bears no name but shows the outline of a coat of arms with a heart-leaf relief. Set into the cemetery wall is the well-preserved cross of the „Endorfer Halffen" Mathias, who died around 1730, marked by a skull above crossed bones. Equally well preserved is the grave cross of Gertrud Bley, who died in 1732 – a variant of the so-called „triple-saddle cross" showing the sorrowful Mother of God.

Along the main path stands a series of free-standing cross stelae, popular in the second half of the 19th century, among them the graves of Franz Moos (around 1920) and the Klemmer and Hufschlag families (around 1915). On Field 8, several striking monuments from the first half of the 20th century catch the eye: the Leikert family monument from the Alt-Engeldorfer Hof (first burial 1921), made entirely of shell limestone and signed by J. Bondian of Brühl, is regarded as the only neoclassical example in the Rodenkirchen area, with two fluted columns and Ionic capitals supporting a triangular pediment.

Opposite, the Langel grave (1830–1878) carries a figure of the risen Christ on a black granite base – a bronze cast from 1905 signed L. Piedboeuf. Beside it lies the wall grave of the Assenmacher family, first used in 1926, with a cross of artificial stone framed by wavy stone forms. On the same plot stands the wall grave of the Kelter family (Margarethe Latz, died 1954), with a round-arched top and a bronze relief from around 1920.
