Osterholzer Friedhof, Cultural heritage cemetery in Osterholz, Germany.
Osterholzer Friedhof is a cemetery in Bremen-Osterholz that spreads across expansive landscaped grounds with winding pathways and varied sections. The site features memorial structures, gravestones, and dedicated areas organized for different periods and communities.
The site was established in 1920 under the design of garden architect Paul Freye and later became a burial place for victims of World War II. Its design reflects early 20th-century landscape principles.
The cemetery serves as a place where visitors come to remember loved ones and reflect on shared history. The various memorial sections throughout the grounds show how different communities have honored their connections to this space.
The cemetery is accessible by foot through several entrances and the pathway system allows easy navigation between sections. Plan enough time to explore the grounds since the site covers a large area.
Gravestones from expired plots are recycled rather than discarded, being processed into materials for road construction projects. This practice reflects a sustainable approach to managing the site's resources.
