📍 Melatenfriedhof

About the venue

Melatenfriedhof is one of Germany's most historically significant cemeteries, laid out in 1810 on the western edge of Cologne. Its tree-lined avenues and elaborate 19th-century tombs make it a remarkable open-air monument to bourgeois funerary art. The grounds host guided tours and occasional cultural events exploring the city's history through the lives of those buried here.
