St. Rochus Cemetery, Cemetery in Gostenhof quarter, Nuremberg, Germany
St. Rochus is a cemetery in the Gostenhof district featuring a chapel built between 1520 and 1521 by architect Hans Beheim the Elder. The grounds contain grave sections from various periods and remain fully accessible for walking.
The cemetery was founded in the early 1510s as a burial ground for plague victims and consecrated on March 21, 1519. The chapel was built shortly after and became a symbol of how the city and wealthy families invested in this space.
The chapel reflects early Renaissance design and shapes how visitors experience the place today. It shows how wealthy Nuremberg families expressed their status through burial sites and family chapels.
The entire site is wheelchair accessible and easy to explore on foot without obstacles. Visitors can move freely through all areas to view grave markers and the chapel.
The Rochus Chapel remains privately owned by the Imhoff family and contains valuable objects kept from public view. This makes the site an example of family-maintained monuments that have survived within the city.
