Aulenbach's Cemetery began as a two acre donated parcel of land near Perkiomen Avenue and the Reading Turnpike Road in Reading, Pennsylvania. The donation of family land by Charles Aulenbach already contained about thirty graves, mostly of the Aulenbach family, by the time it was incorporated in 1853. One of the original graves contains the remains of Andreas Aulenbach, a veteran of the War of 1812, who requested to be buried under a chestnut tree in the family plot. Additional purchases of land were made from 1862 till 1901 from the City of Reading, from the Perkiomen and Reading Turnpike Company and from George Smith, totaling twenty one acres and 107 perches. This information was provided by Charles J. Adams III, author and editor of the Historical Review of Berks County and used with his permission.

Aulenbach's Cemetery is located at 2050 Howard Blvd, Reading, Pennsylvania. The cemetery currently contains more than 20,000 graves and is managed by an all volunteer cemetery association board.
