This burial ground was designed in 1875 by Carl Jancke to serve as a western expansion of Bremen's earlier cemetery. It was built as the city looked to create new burial space after the Franco-Prussian War period.
This burial ground serves as a place where the community honors the deceased and connects with those who shaped Bremen's past. Walking through the grounds, visitors encounter graves of people who left their mark on the city's development.
The grounds are accessible by bus from multiple routes and staff can provide information about burial plot options. Visitors can explore the area on foot, and consultations about burial arrangements are available at the site.
The grounds feature artificial water surfaces that were originally created for soil extraction but now function as integral design elements of the landscape. These water features add a distinctive quality to the atmosphere and provide a sense of openness within the burial ground.
