The Roleber cemetery is one of the newest and was established in 1984 on what was originally farmland. It has the character of a village cemetery and is located on the edge of the village outside the residential area. In front of the simple modern brick building of the funeral hall near the entrance, a single stone cross from the 18th century stands out in contrast. It belongs to the journeyman Anton Frings, who is said to have fallen down a shaft in Roleber while mining brown coal with a wicker pit cage. The cross stood on Giersbergstraße until the end of the Second World War. When an antique dealer expressed interest in the cross, a resident of Giersbergstraße took it to his home in Beuel for security reasons until it was finally erected in the "Om Berg" cemetery.

With its path systems and groups of trees and shrubs, the cemetery was planned by architects Raderschall, Möhrer and Peters in such a way that the burial plots create vistas that help people find their way around the cemetery. In addition, design reference points were created that correspond with the neighboring Ettenhausen estate to the west and Heiderhof estate to the east
