What you can expect

The 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 walk 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 explore a small part of the 398-hectare site on foot for 2 hours (possibly a little longer). It would probably take more than a full day to cover the entire grounds.

The topics of the tour are individually adapted to the wishes of the participants. As a rule, the tour ends near the main entrance. Depending on the wishes of the participants, the return trip can also be made on one of the two HVV bus lines that run through the cemetery.

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