Originally known as First German Lutheran Cemetery, Wunder’s Cemetery was established in 1859 by First Saint Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, the oldest Lutheran congregation in Chicago. In 1919 the cemetery was renamed after Heinrich Wunder, who served as pastor of First Saint Paul’s from 1851 to 1913.
