Locating the graves

To look for a particular person, ask City of Cologne – cemetery administration, northern office for the section, row and grave number using the full name and known life dates. Do not estimate a position from a general cemetery marker.

Images for recognition

No grave or memorial photograph is shown for the selected people. Rely on the exact grave reference from City of Cologne – cemetery administration, northern office rather than on an assumed visual match.

Ask about another person

Send City of Cologne – cemetery administration, northern office the full name, known life dates, possible spelling variants and an approximate burial period. Ask specifically for the section, row and grave number. Include Thujaweg, 50765 Köln so the enquiry identifies Chorweiler Cemetery when the operator manages more than one cemetery.
