Enquiries about a historic monument
Supply the full name, life dates, inscription and any location reference. The original cemetery may matter for a relocated stone: 58 monuments were transferred here from Neuer Johannisfriedhof in 1991.
Before proposing work on a monument, describe its condition and the intended task. Ask the garden heritage office about conservation or access restrictions. This cemetery does not offer new plot allocations or burial appointments.
Combine a visit with research
The opening hours apply to visiting the park. Grave search supports historic research, while the cemetery map locates entrances, nearby transport and parking.
