In 1627, a cemetery was established in Kriegshaber, which is now located at the corner of Madison and Hoover Streets in the former U.S. residential area of Center Village. Only for a part of the cemetery there are records of who is buried there. The cemetery has always been controversial. Residents of Augsburg's suburbs had the jus pascendi' the right of floral visitation there. So between the graves the cattle grazed. In order not to cause the "decrease" of this right, the cemetery was also not allowed to be enlarged.
