Wulsdorfer Friedhof

The cemetery extends over 23 acres of land along Weserstrasse, featuring a chapel from 1887 and numerous tree-lined pathways through the grounds.

The cemetery was established in 1870 after an agreement with the Wulsdorf community, as Bremerhaven lacked burial grounds since its founding in 1827.

Memorials within the cemetery commemorate various events, including the Thomas disaster of 1875 and tributes to 300 Jewish residents lost during World War II.

Graves at Wulsdorf Cemetery operate on a 25-year reuse cycle, allowing new urn burials in existing plots unless families extend the reservation period.

The grounds contain a pyramid-shaped war memorial and 500 trees planted according to the original design by landscape architect Friedrich Wilhelm Benque.
