Ohlsdorf Cemetery

Huge, beautiful rural cemetery, wheelchair accessible, seating available

I cannot say "I've seen it all" but I tried. On foot, by bike and by bus. This rural cemetery rather seems a park - and that was intentionally done so. It's too large to see it all but with its distinct parts, the old Corde's and the 'new' Linne's one, Ohlsdorf cemetery is definitely worth several visits.

Important people of and for Hamburg are buried here, the different tombstones and mausoleums are impressive. A mass grave for the bombing victims of Operation Gomorrha, British Commonwealth War Graves, Resistance fighters, the rose garden, the women's garden, it's so much to tell. You need to explore it on your own!

Our son took us there when visiting Hamburg. The calmness, beauty and dedication by the staff and city to maintain this historical cemetery is very rare in today's world.

Huge site. Very well kept. Can get lost very easily in here but the scenery is unmatched. I would suggest exploring it by bike. Have fun but keep in mind it's a cemetery so be respectful when passing through newer sections.

One of the finest, beautiful and huge cemetery I've seen / been to. Beautiful landscape, well organized graves with proper walking path. There are 12 chapels and 3 museum within the proximity, huge almost 400 hectares!

Cemetery and park - two in one, huge territory, so my recommendation is to explore it by bicycle. You can find bike rental places around. If you want to have some peaceful time and to run away from the city - it is a perfect place.

Well maintained, beautiful and peaceful place to visit and give respect to the ones who are not here anymore. The cemetery park is very good for jogging and taking a stroll.

Becareful if you are visiting for the first time and without your phone during closing time , you might find it difficult to find your way out. It happened to me ????
