Hiking

The church is located in the Essen Southwest Cemetery in the Fulerum district. Next to the Park Cemetery, it is the second largest burial site in the city in terms of area. The cemetery area with its 38 hectares was declared a landscape protection area in the mid-1990s. When you stroll through the cemetery you can stop at the graves of 2,878 victims of both world wars.

Hiking

In the huge Southwest Cemetery we enjoy an afternoon snack on a sunlit bench, away from the graves, under a tree with delicate needles and tiny cones. I bring three cones home with me, one burst open in the heat in my pocket: a Tsuga, a hemlock fir.
