    Spacious and very well maintained!
    Translated by
    The Altona Main Cemetery is a 63-hectare park cemetery in the northwest of Hamburg; the main entrance is located on Stadionstraße. It was opened in 1923 and, in addition to traditional burials, also offers HSV graves, Muslim graves, as well as natural tree graves and memorial gardens, and a war memorial. Due to its location, it is also a local recreation area and is popular with walkers. For specific inquiries or to plan a burial, you can contact the cemetery administration directly or view the information on the Hamburg.de Altona Main Cemetery page.

    The main cemetery in Altona was planned in 1916 by the gardening director at the time, Ferdinand Tutenberg. The first burials took place in 1923 after several years of construction. Today the Altona Main Cemetery covers a total area of 63 ha.

    In addition to the pure occupancy areas, which have the character of a "lawn cemetery", other generous open spaces and the beautiful tree population reinforce the impression of a park-like facility. The avenue of Japanese ornamental cherries is particularly worth a visit when it is in full bloom.
