Ostenfriedhof Dortmund, Historic cemetery in Innenstadt-Ost, Dortmund, Germany.

The Ostenfriedhof spans 16 hectares with tree-lined pathways, memorial halls, administrative buildings, and hundreds of elaborately designed grave monuments throughout its grounds.

Established in 1876 as Dortmund's second municipal cemetery during rapid industrialization, when the city population increased from 4,000 to over 50,000 residents.

The cemetery contains notable sculptures by artist Benno Elkan, including Persephone and Kniender Mann mit erloschener Fackel, representing different artistic periods.

Located near Robert-Koch-Straße, the cemetery maintains active burial services since 1998 while preserving 362 individual grave monuments protected as architectural heritage.

A dedicated Jewish section, operational since 1898, underwent restoration after World War II damage and now includes a memorial for victims of the Nazi regime.
