Plan a cemetery walk
Chorweiler Cemetery currently has no precisely located named building, memorial or biographical point from which several visit subjects could be assembled. No sequence is therefore proposed.
A particular grave still requires its section, row and grave number; its position cannot be inferred from a general cemetery marker.
The map below is provided instead for arrival and practical orientation. It proposes neither sightseeing subjects nor a route.
Arrival and orientation
The visitor address is Thujaweg, 50765 Köln.
- Pedestrian gate 1
- Pedestrian gate 2
- Pedestrian gate 3
- Pedestrian gate 4
Bus route 126 serves Friedhof Chorweiler on Thujaweg. This stop is for the cemetery in Volkhoven/Weiler, rather than Chorweiler town centre.
Use parking on Thujaweg according to local signs. The administration and funeral hall are separate destinations; confirm the place and time of an office appointment.
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.
Infrastructure on the grounds
No precise toilet or water-point marker is included on this page.
Infrastructure markers indicate position only. If access to a facility is essential, ask City of Cologne – cemetery administration, northern office whether it will be available at the intended time.
Visiting framework
3 November–31 March 08:00–17:00; 1 April–2 November 07:00–20:00.
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 Chorweiler 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 City of Cologne – cemetery administration, northern office.
