Enzenbühl and Rehalp cemeteries

In 1902 Enzenbühl was, after the old Neumünster and Rehalp cemeteries, the third expansion phase for the growing needs of northeastern Zürich. Arnold Geiser, the city's chief engineer, designed an architecturally simple cemetery with longitudinal and transverse axes, surrounded by high, circular walls. Geiser positioned the abdication chapel, which was built in the Gothic Revival style, at the highest area of the westward sloping plant. In 1934, the cemetery grounds were expanded to their present size.{{cite web|url=https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/ted/de/index/gsz/natur-_und_erlebnisraeume/friedhoefe/friedhof_enzenbuehl.html#fakten|title=Friedhof Enzenbühl|publisher=stadt-zuerich.ch|author=|language=German|date=|accessdate=2015-09-25}}
