The cemetery is half surrounded by streets and half by residential buildings. As you enter through the gate, a central group of birch trees in the entrance area catches the eye, providing light shade for the area. The cemetery is located uphill and is walled. There are fewer trees in the central area, with different types of trees growing at the far end, although they are not very tall. This is also where the modern clinkered mourning hall is located, which is characterized by a simple saddle roof and a restrained design.

A small mortuary from the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century is located in the middle of the cemetery. A tall stone cross near the mortuary was erected around the turn of the century by the Lannesdorf local committee and the founding Sieburg family.
In 1888, Lannesdorf separated from Mehlem and became an independent parish. After the construction of a church, the parish acquired an area of over 1800 m in 1890, which was suitable as a burial ground and was located far outside the village on the border with Muffendorf. Another plot of the same size was added through purchase and exchange, as the first plot soon became too small. In 1935, Lannesdorf was incorporated into Godesberg together with Mehlem, and Godesberg in turn became part of Bonn in 1969.
