Main cemetery Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Historical cemetery in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
The main cemetery of Ludwigshafen extends across 25 hectares of landscaped grounds with century-old trees and architectural burial monuments.
The cemetery opened in November 1856 and underwent its first expansion southward in 1864 after purchasing land from Friesenheim farmers.
The grounds include separate sections for Jewish and Muslim communities, reflecting the diverse population of Ludwigshafen.
The main entrance is now located on Blies Street, where visitors can find the administrative offices and crematorium facilities.
The cemetery contains 1599 graves of soldiers from both World Wars and a memorial dedicated to the victims of the 1921 BASF accident.
