Site profile and orientation

Heerdt, Düsseldorf’s westernmost district, was incorporated into the city in 1909. The community’s original burial ground was in the churchyard of the old St. Benediktus Church. The sharp rise in Heerdt’s population during 19th-century industrialisation soon left the churchyard without sufficient space, so the present Heerdt Cemetery opened in 1867. Several gravestones were moved there from the former burial ground, including those of Pastor Paulus Gerhardus Viehoff and Peter Jos. Corn. Reinartz, president of the Heerdt church council. 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

An enquiry for Friedhof Heerdt should include the full cemetery name, exact grave reference and requested work. 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. It is neither an official authority website nor the cemetery administration for Friedhof Heerdt.
