Origins and development
Planning began in the 1930s; the former gravel-pit landscape was restored and developed as a park cemetery.
Origins: 1966. The cemetery is in Billstedt, at Manshardtstraße 200, 22119 Hamburg. Its area is approximately 98.7 hectares.
Design and present-day character
A large park cemetery with mature trees, circular lawn burial fields, and a transition into the natural Schleemer Bach valley. Open to all nations and religions; Islamic burial grounds have existed since 1978.
Read this character description together with the development of Öjendorf Cemetery: it identifies what gives the grounds their present identity without turning the cemetery into a purely historical attraction. A visit can focus on spatial structure and named orientation points while leaving individual graves undisturbed.
