It was laid out between 1926 and 1933 to the design of the landscape architect [Gudmund Nyeland Brandt](/source/Gudmund_Nyeland_Brandt) and is considered an important example of European [Modernist](/source/Modern_architecture) landscape architecture. Its design has inspired many other cemeteries both in Denmark and abroad.{{cite web|url=http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Kunst_og_kultur/Arkitektur/Kirkeg%C3%A5rde/Mariebjerg_Kirkeg%C3%A5rd|title=Mariebjerg Kirkegård|publisher=Gyldendal|accessdate=2010-12-02}} ==Layout== Mariebjerg Cemetery is laid out in a tight, schematic grid pattern over an area of just over 25 hectares. A network of wide avenues cut through the cemetery and long, metre-high hedges subdivide the area. Each of the resulting spaces contains an interpretation of a characteristic part of the Danish landscape, ranging from dense woods and glades, over ditches, meadows, fields and overgrown slopes to well-nursed garden settings. ==Buildings== thumb|Vintappergården ===Vintappergården=== Vintappergården dates from c. 1770. It was listed on the [Danish registry of protected buildings and places](/source/Listed_buildings_in_Gentofte_Municipality) in 1918. ===Mariebjerg Crematory and Chapel=== Mariebjerg Crematory and Chapel was added in 1936. It was built to the design of [Frits Schlegel](/source/Frits_Schlegel). ==Notable burials== {{columns-list|colwidth=15em| * [:da:Henrik Bentzon](/source/%3Ada%3AHenrik_Bentzon) (1895–1971), actor * [Jørgen Bentzon](/source/J%C3%B8rgen_Bentzon) (1897–1951), composer * [:da:Karl Bjarnhof](/source/%3Ada%3AKarl_Bjarnhof) (communal grave) * [Augusta Blad](/source/Augusta_Blad) * [Aage Niels Bohr](/source/Aage_Niels_Bohr) (1922–2009), Nobel Prize laureate in physics * [Svend Borberg](/source/Svend_Borberg) (1888–1947), author, playwright, editor and literary critic * [:da:Anna Borg](/source/%3Ada%3AAnna_Borg) (1903–1963), actress * [Erik Bruhn](/source/Erik_Bruhn) (1928–1986), danseur, choreographer, artistic director, actor, and author * [Anton Frederik Bruun](/source/Anton_Frederik_Bruun) (1901–1961), oceanographer and ichthyologist (communal grave) * [Holger Valdemar Brøndsted](/source/Holger_Valdemar_Br%C3%B8ndsted) * [Henny Lindorff Buckhøj](/source/Henny_Lindorff_Buckh%C3%B8j) (1935–1994), actor * [Jørgen Buckhøj](/source/J%C3%B8rgen_Buckh%C3%B8j) (fællesgrav) * [Per Buckhøj](/source/Per_Buckh%C3%B8j) * [Poul Bundgaard](/source/Poul_Bundgaard) * [Mogens Bøggild](/source/Mogens_B%C3%B8ggild) * [:da:Arne Ole David](/source/%3Ada%3AArne_Ole_David) * [:da:Ingolf David](/source/%3Ada%3AIngolf_David) * [Nanna Ditzel](/source/Nanna_Ditzel) * [:da:Erik Erstad-Jørgensen](/source/%3Ada%3AErik_Erstad-J%C3%B8rgensen) (fællesgrav) * [:da:Troels Fink](/source/%3Ada%3ATroels_Fink) * [:da:Leck Fischer](/source/%3Ada%3ALeck_Fischer) * [:da:Olaf Forchhammer](/source/%3Ada%3AOlaf_Forchhammer) * [Erling Foss](/source/Erling_Foss) * [Svend Fournais](/source/Svend_Fournais) * [Blanche Funch](/source/Blanche_Funch) * [Georg Galster](/source/Georg_Galster) * [Johannes Glob](/source/Johannes_Glob) * [Kip Glob](/source/Kip_Glob) * [Ernst Goldschmidt](/source/Ernst_Goldschmidt) * [Kaj Gottlob](/source/Kaj_Gottlob) * [Peder Gram](/source/Peder_Gram) * [Ragna Grubb](/source/Ragna_Grubb) * [Mogens Halbye](/source/Mogens_Halbye) * [Hans Peter Hansen](/source/Hans_Peter_Hansen_(minister)) * [Søren Hansen](/source/S%C3%B8ren_Hansen_(physician)) * [Flemming Holbek](/source/Flemming_Holbek) * [Gy Holdorf](/source/Gy_Holdorf) * [Kai Holm](/source/Kai_Holm) * [Tyge Hvass](/source/Tyge_Hvass) * [A.C.
