Ostfriedhof Aachen, Cemetery and architectural monument in Aachen, Germany
The Ostfriedhof cemetery contains multiple sections with grave sites, memorials, and a chapel with a built-in crypt at the main entrance.
Established in 1803, the Ostfriedhof initially served Catholic funerals and received architectural heritage monument status in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1988.
The cemetery includes permanent war graves, diverse memorial designs, and gravestones that display the evolution of burial traditions in Aachen.
The cemetery management maintains the grounds according to German regulations, with grave plots typically renewed every 20 to 30 years.
The site combines forest cemetery elements with traditional burial spaces, creating natural pathways through trees and greenery between memorial sections.
