With approx. 64,500 burial plots across 161.32 ha, searching on site without a reliable location reference is difficult to plan. The essential first step is to establish whether the grave is in the old or new section.
Searching for a grave yourself
If you already have a location reference
If you know whether the grave is in the old or new section, open the relevant PDF on the cemetery map page. If only the section is known but the specific area is not, the map may still be insufficient for an unambiguous location.
If the location reference is missing
Contact the cemetery administration to ask what official information may be available for your case. This portal does not maintain a public grave register and cannot replace official information from the administration.
Before visiting
- Establish whether the old or new section is meant, if possible.
- Open the appropriate PDF map before travelling.
- Check the seasonal opening hours.
- With incomplete information, do not expect to find a grave by name alone across the extensive grounds.
Please note: The PDF maps do not include a name search. A reliable location reference is therefore needed for an independent search.
