Winterly cemetery walk

 °

Winter walks.

It's been on my bucket list already for a couple of years: the cemetery.


Die Trauerhalle der Hauptfriedhof Frankfurt.

Fake news? somebody coloured the roofs!




I like maps.
Check this one, check the green area in the middle,
underneath there is a text Nordend.
That huge spot is the cemetery!


The cemetry is the biggest park in town.
And a perfect area for winter walks if you get tired of
the river banks of Main.

It was opened in 1828. The cemetery is located directly adjacent to two Jewish 
cemeteries, the Old Jewish Cemetery (opened together with the Main Cemetery 
in 1828) and the New Jewish Cemetery, Frankfurt (opened in 1928), 
and together they form one of the largest cemetery areas in Germany. 
The cemetery is noted for its many monumental graves, its garden architecture 
and as the site of the graves of many notable individuals. (Wikipedia)


You can see many beautiful, old grave monuments.


Charm of eternity.


And a huge area for the fallen soldiers.
Victims of the wars.


I shall definitely do another tour here, with a guidebook
or a guided tour, as soon as they are available.
And the weather gets a bit warmer, and we have more light.
And I'll keep you posted, for sure!


This map I still have to study carefully.

Wikipedia has already listed all the notable graves:
