Cross the Geldersche Fleuth and you come to this park-like cemetery on the outskirts of the city. A quiet place for inner contemplation and relaxation.

The Geldern cemetery. Lots of gravestones worth seeing, a great garden and a place of silence. A flyer provides information about the numerous monuments and the people buried there.

"A large number of old gravestones and a magnificent old tree population today make up the quiet charm and attraction of the 200-year-old Geldern cemetery. Until 1821, the dead were buried in the churchyard of the Protestant or Catholic church, depending on their denomination. At the beginning of the 19th century, the then Prussian government pushed for the cemeteries to be moved outside the city gates for hygienic and spatial reasons. On April 27, 1821, the new Geldern cemetery in front of the Geldertor was inaugurated as a rectangular complex. At the end of the central axis, the Hoensbroech Chapel was built in 1858; in front of it is now the burial place for the Catholic clergy. The front grave fields 1 and 2 were reserved for the Geldern Protestants and were separated from the Catholic cemetery by a path. The cemetery had to be expanded as early as 1904. In 1929, extensive redesign measures created the current system of fields and paths. Today, the Size of the cemetery approx. 57,900 square meters and consists of 45 grave fields..."
