Noch nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kannten ältere Bernburger für diesen Bereich – der Nordostecke des Friedhofes vor der Erweiterung von 1849 – die Bezeichnung „Pestilenzfleck“. In den Anfangsjahren des Dreißigjährigen Krieges, 1625/26 wurde Europa von einer gewaltigen Pestepidemie heimgesucht. Die Opferzahlen für die Stadt Bernburg schwanken zwischen 450 und 1770 – eine gewaltige Katastrophe war dies so oder so. Die Leichen wurden in dieser Ecke separiert. Obwohl die Gräber bereits 1675 eingeebnet wurden, behielt dieser Platz seine abschreckende Erinnerung und Bezeichnung.
