What you can expect

  • Ohlsdorf Cemetery is much more than “just” a cemetery. It is Hamburg's largest green space and the largest park cemetery in the world. It has over 140 years of history, and you can stroll through it like an open history book.

    We meet on the cemetery side of the main entrance at Fuhlsbüttler Straße 756. From there, we will spend 2 hours (or possibly a little longer) exploring a small part of the 398-hectare site on foot. It would probably take more than a full day to cover the entire site.

    The topics of the tour are customized according to the wishes of the participants. The tour usually ends near the main entrance again. Depending on the wishes of the participants, the return journey can also be made using one of the two HVV bus lines that run through the cemetery.

    Along the way, we can discover angel sculptures that are over 100 years old, mausoleums and the magnificent tombs of wealthy Hamburg merchant families, or visit prominent Hamburgers. Depending on individual preferences, other topics of the tour can include grave symbolism, burial culture, archeological sites in the cemetery, or even art, botany, or nature conservation.
