Plan a cemetery walk
Walle Cemetery has several precisely located cultural, architectural or biographical points that can inform a self-planned visit. They are presented as independent subjects, not as a prescribed sequence.
- Denkmal für die Verteidiger der Bremer Räterepublik
- Ludwig Knoop: 1821–1894 · EE 11.
- Funeral hall
These are independent orientation points. Find them on the map below; the information defines no order, distance or duration.
Visiting framework
A fixed opening and closing time for the grounds is not provided here. Ask the administration about visiting hours before an early or late journey.
Use this information to choose when to visit and keep the relevant exit in mind. A particular grave cannot be inferred from the points above; obtain its section, row and grave number first.
Visit respectfully
Remain on paths intended for visitors at Walle Cemetery, keep clear of funerals and personal farewells, and do not touch monuments or planting. Photograph other people only with their consent. For a short-notice practical question, contact Umweltbetrieb Bremen – cemetery administration.
