Garten der Frauen

This 1100-square-meter memorial garden contains 302 burial sites, 44 historic gravestones, and 33 commemorative stones arranged in spiral formations.

Founded in 2000 by Dr. Rita Bake, Helga Diercks-Norden, and Dr. Silke Urbanski, the garden opened in 2001 to preserve endangered gravestones of notable Hamburg women.

The garden commemorates female artists, politicians, resistance fighters, trade unionists, and prominent figures from Hamburg's first women's movement through preserved gravestones and memorial markers.

Visitors can access multimedia tours with audio recordings of women's voices at historical gravestones, narrated by professional voice actors like Marga Maasberg.

The 1898 water tower near the garden entrance functions as a documentation center, hosting exhibitions about the women remembered through historical graves and memorial stones.
