Site profile and orientation

The woodland cemetery in Düsseldorf-Gerresheim is more than 100 years old. The new cemetery “at the foot of the Taubenberg” was formally opened on 10 October 1906, and the first burial took place just three days later, on 13 October 1906. Today, Gerresheim Woodland Cemetery is regarded as Düsseldorf’s most scenically attractive cemetery. Surrounded by woodland on the foothills of the Bergisches Land, the grounds are divided into lower and upper sections, with the lower section being the older one. Its published site facts are: Operator: Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf – Garten-, Friedhofs- und Forstamt, Abteilung Friedhöfe 68/4. A site-specific cemetery plan is available. Allow enough time between the chosen approach and the intended grave when planning a fixed appointment.

Making a precise grave care enquiry

A realistic time frame, any important occasion and a reliable contact method help with follow-up. A recent photograph, when already available, may explain the current condition but does not replace a section, row or grave number. This portal brings together independently researched visitor information and links to GraveStay for the enquiry itself.
