Almost unknown deceased, but also a state minister, a landowner, museum directors and artists, a nationally active entrepreneur, two men who shaped the reconstruction of the city of Hamm after the Second World War, a family with a tragic fate during the Nazi era, a theologian and a theologian with unusual initiatives. All of them found their final resting place in the Marker Cemetery. Their biographies provide remarkable insights into the history and present of the city. The Marker Cemetery is far more than just a village cemetery on the outskirts of the city center.
