The buildings, entrance area, administration, mourning hall and crematorium in Bochum's largest cemetery were built between 1935 and 1939 in the style of the time. Very imposing buildings, which exude a "special charm". A trip to the really beautifully designed cemetery with its park-like character is also worthwhile.

Hiking

Beautiful to look at in the more colorful seasons, however, in winter the monumentality creates an oppressive mood.
