Cemeteries

The association is in the process of recording Beuel's 16 cemeteries and securing and restoring the gravesites worthy of preservation.

Activities in recent years include:

• Restoration of unique gravesites of the 19th century in Vilich: neo-Gothic high cross grave Heister (1988), grave Fuchs (1999), grave Gau-Pesch (2001/03), grave Th. Schumacher (2004)
• Restoration of the cast-iron gravestone Bleibtreu from 1839 at the protestant cemetery in Holzlar (1988)
• Restoration of historical grave crosses from the 15th to 18th century: in Vilich (72 pieces, 1987/88); in Küdinghoven grave crosses and grave slabs of the 17th century (1991/2006)
