The collective grave of bomb victims with a memorial is located near the eastern entrance to the cemetery near Chapel 13.
The four grave field arms are arranged in the shape of a cross. The names of the twenty Hamburg districts from which the victims come are listed on large oak beams in the grave fields.
At the center of the grave complex is a cube, inside of which the relief "Journey over the Styx" by Gerhard Marcks demonstrates the fate of the dead.

The bombing of Operation Gomorrah killed 34,000 people, 125,000 were injured and 900,000 were homeless. This is remembered here.
