Westfriedhof, Cemetery and cultural heritage monument in Nuremberg, Germany
The Westfriedhof extends across 39 hectares between Pegnitz, Nordwestring, and Schnieglinger Straße, featuring 40,000 grave spaces within park-like grounds.
The cemetery opened on July 25, 1880, as the Central Cemetery due to Nuremberg's population growth, which reached 100,000 inhabitants during that period.
The cemetery follows English landscape garden design principles, with a neo-baroque entrance portal from 1878 and a mortuary building constructed in 1884.
Located at coordinates 49.46343, 11.04547, the Westfriedhof includes multiple sections, with the main entrance providing access to the burial grounds.
The bronze monument 'Trauernde Noris' by Philipp Kittler stands in the cemetery since 1923, marking a central point of memorial significance.
