Description
Vorwerker Friedhof is a large cemetery and park in Lübeck with sprawling green areas, winding paths, and different memorial sections. The grounds include multiple burial fields and resting areas arranged throughout a peaceful landscape.
History
This cemetery opened in 1907 after the older St. Lorenz cemetery ran out of space, following plans created by a renowned landscape architect. It has since served as a burial ground for people of many backgrounds and nationalities.
Culture

Practical
The cemetery is accessible on foot with broad paths that wind through the park and connect different areas. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are large and it takes time to explore the various sections.

A pond near the boundary of the grounds hosts rare plants and insects while squirrels and birds can be spotted by visitors. This natural feature transforms the cemetery into more than just a burial place, creating a setting where nature and remembrance coexist.
