    Bochum's main cemetery (central cemetery) on Freigrafendamm was laid out between 1929 and 1932. The construction of the company building and the entrance area were initially postponed. This was then made up for between 1935 and 1941, when the buildings of the main cemetery were built in several construction phases in the sense of representative National Socialist building concepts. The system was essentially completed by the end of 1939, after which only a few additions were made. It has been preserved almost unchanged and was partially restored and renovated between 1994 and 1996 after it was entered in the monument list of the city of Bochum in 1989. The mourning complex on Freigrafendamm is the only completed and preserved example of National Socialist state architecture in Bochum and also has a unique character for the Ruhr area.

        very spacious entrance area. Once built in the style of the time, it looks very imposing.
