    "The cemetery is the direct successor to the first Oberhausen municipal cemetery from 1863 on Duisburger Strasse and shows a good 100 years of burial culture with its old graves At the beginning of the 20th century, the Rhine-Herne Canal forced the main entrance of the Westfriedhof to be relocated to Hamborner Allee.

    The cemetery is park-like and very varied. Cycling is prohibited on the site, it is worth getting down. Highlights are the memorial stone for victims of the firedamp disaster of the Concordia colliery in 1938, numerous sculptures and the Jewish cemetery area.

    The Westfriedhof is part of the Industrial Culture Route.

    Parts of the original Emscher meandering in the lowlands can also be found here. (Also in the Kaisergarten - the Emscher flowed as a natural river south of the gasometer, i.e. in today's Centro area)
