    Framed by the Church of St. George with the Friedenskapelle and the Pauluskirche, the old cemetery is a beautiful park with many interesting old gravestones to discover.

      The old tombstones of well-known Ulm citizens in the city park, which was redesigned in 1899, give an inner peace. There are enough benches to take a break.

          Today, the old cemetery is accessible like a public park.
          Robert Bosch from Stuttgart commissioned an impressive grave there for his parents.

            The Old Cemetery is an atmospheric park of great recreational significance in Ulm's city center/Neustadt district. The Old Cemetery stretches through Ulm's city center as a treasure trove of bygone times.

            This atmospheric park has existed since 1949 and is home to numerous tombs of prominent Ulm residents from the 16th to 19th centuries. The predecessor church of Ulm Minster, the Church of Our Lady, once stood here, unprotected outside the city walls.

            Today, the Old Cemetery is centrally located, linking the city center and the eastern part of the city, and is therefore easily accessible during a stroll through the city.

              Visiting the old cemetery, closed 120 years ago, was a strange, almost eerie experience. Even though children play there now and people camp there, looking back, it was a very beautiful and unforgettable experience.
