In 1849 the Vine Street Hill Cemetery was founded in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, as the German Evangelical Protestant Cemetery on Carthage Road. The original name was soon shortened to the Carthage Road Cemetery. After the road’s name was changed to Vine Street and the cemetery was annexed by the City of Cincinnati, the cemetery’s name was changed to Vine Street Hill.
The cemetery is part of the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery’s architects were George and August Brink who designed the cemetery’s famous chapel in a Romanesque Revival style. The large cemetery is heavily wooded.
