Plan a cemetery walk
Duisburg Forest 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.
- Dazwischen oder für den Nachbarn
- Peter Klöckner: 1863–1940.
- Funeral hall
- Drei Lebensalter
These are independent orientation points. Find them on the map below; the information defines no order, distance or duration.
Infrastructure on the grounds
- Toilets 1
Infrastructure markers indicate position only. If access to a facility is essential, ask Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg – cemetery administration whether it will be available at the intended time.
Visiting framework
Open continuously; the gates are not locked.
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 Duisburg Forest 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 Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg – cemetery administration.
Arrival and orientation
The visitor address is Düsseldorfer Straße 601, 47055 Duisburg.
- Pedestrian gate 1
- Tiroler Straße: Stop: Tiroler Straße. Check the direction and current timetable before travelling.
- Waldfriedhof: Stop: Waldfriedhof. Check the direction and current timetable before travelling.
- Car park 2
Waldfriedhof is mapped as a tram stop near the entrance on Düsseldorfer Straße. Confirm the exact funeral hall and grave section before attending a burial.
A car park is beside the Düsseldorfer Straße entrance. Given the size of the grounds, parking at the entrance does not mean every grave is nearby. Discuss access arrangements with the administration if mobility is limited.
The address and directions page brings the travel information together. Entrances, public-transport stops and parking places support arrival; they are not presented as cultural or biographical subjects.
