Frankenthal is fighting for the Amalie Fortz-Halle: Staying in danger!

The Antiquity Association in Frankenthal has actively campaigned for the preservation of the Amalie Fortz-Halle on the Frankenthaler main cemetery. Another important concern of the association is the preservation of a choral assembly from the 18th century, which is located in the collection of the Erkenbert Museum. The Amalie Fortz-Halle is the focus of the association's efforts, as the Rheinpfalz reported.

The Frankenthaler main cemetery, which comprises an area of ​​around 200,000 square meters, represents the largest inner -city recreation area in Frankenthal. The park is characterized by old trees, extensive green areas and rest areas. On the site there are two Jewish cemeteries and a veteran monument that was built between 1839 and 1840. In addition, the collection of historical tombs can be visited.

The Amalie Fortz-Halle

The old cemetery chapel, which is also known as Amalie Fortz-Halle, was built between 1895 and 1896. It is a hall building made of unplastered quarry stones that are decorated with sandstone structure. The chapel is a foundation of the Frankenthal Amalie Foltz and has a special meaning for the city. The main cemetery not only serves as a burial place, but also as a place of farewell and memory, and at the same time fulfills important ecological functions. More information about the main cemetery can be found on the official website of the city of Frankenthal.
