About event
Our cemeteries are a reflection of our culture of mourning, which changes according to the spirit of the times and taste.
Important personalities have their resting places here, and some are named graves of honor. Some grave monuments from bygone times are listed as historical monuments. Famous architects have immortalized themselves in this way, as have special manufacturers.
The garden architecture and the treasures hidden in it are also interesting and worth experiencing. Fallow areas develop their own biotopes. The tour leads past well-known grave monuments and is intended to help open your eyes to botanical treasures: from wallflowers to the Lebanon cedar.
City guide: Michael Platz and KD L. Ehmke
Meeting point: At the entrance to the cemetery, Landsberger Allee 48-50
As the number of participants is limited, we ask that you register.
Cost: 14 €
