The new burial ground on Hammermühlweg (Friedhofsweg or Bernhard May-Straße) had been in operation since 1855 and had been extended several times since 1883. The burial hall was consecrated on November 25, 1891. At the same time, Biebrich's first Jewish cemetery was established to the west of the hall. In 2010, the Biebrich cemetery covered an area of ten hectares and contains around 1,200 graves.

Several monuments and squares commemorate the victims of war and violence. A grave laid out in 1873 for 30 German soldiers who died in the Biebrich reserve hospital in August 1870 is marked in the middle by a red sandstone column with a crowning imperial eagle. A central memorial for war victims with a monument by sculptor Fritz Gerth was officially inaugurated on 21.11.1920.

Noteworthy are the tomb of clockmaker Hubertus Kreitz (1886), the mausoleum for Major Maximilian Schumann (1883), the monumental tomb of the Dyckerhoff families (1918) and the cenotaph of diplomat Carl von Bunsen.

Important personalities such as Wilhelm Dilthey, Ernst Ludwig Beck, Seligmann Baer and Emil Alexander Hopfgarten found their final resting place in Biebrich.
