Since 1960, the members of the Essen cathedral chapter have been buried in the middle of the cloister. The cloister is located next to the cathedral near Kettwiger Straße.

🌿 Peace in the heart of the city – the cloister of Essen Cathedral is a place steeped in history and soul.

For over 1,000 years, it has served as a retreat, once for the canonesses, and today for anyone seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center. Between the ancient walls, the green lawns, and the tranquil chapter cemetery, you can sense the connection between past and present. A stroll through the stone corridors is like stepping back in time – tranquil, dignified, and inspiring.
