Alter Friedhof, Bonn

5 P B - 5 months ago

Beautiful cemetery in the middle of the busy city of Bonn. It gives peace and some rest as well.

Even the gate helps by giving a scary sqeeking sound when opening it.

Mother of Beethoven is buried here, among many others.

Site is still in use, as to be seen by the data on the tombstones.

Large cemetery with some notable graves, such as Beethoven's mother.

A good place in the summer to cool down in greenery u0026 silence.

Very near the train station and the main attractions of Bonn.

Beautiful old graveyard with a lot of old tombstones. All entrances are closed except for the eastern entrance. There is a bus, tram and metro stop on 400 meters of the entrance. Be respectful because it is still being used by today.

The most beautiful cemetery I have seen! I went here in August 2017 and visited Robert and Clara Schumann's grave (romantic era composer). The trees and the garden-like landscaping were so gorgeous that I spent probably 2 hours there photographing and filming the beauty. And this was on a dark cloudy day too! It is very well kept, with respect and deep devotion by the staff, who should be commended for their immeasurable dedication to doing an excellent job!

Old, very old, must be one of the best and most interesting cemeteries in Germany. Beethoven's mother and composer Schumann were buried as well as many other celebrities. A real place to be in nature and discover history. Good transport by the Bonn local system.
