Visitor address and access

Use that access information as the starting point for Bochum Central Cemetery, especially when the destination is a named section or an appointment rather than a general walk. The visitor address identifies the cemetery, while the most useful entrance depends on the purpose of the visit.
Parking
A visitor car park is mapped at the main cemetery. The visitor address is Immanuel-Kant-Straße 52, 44803 Bochum; the city’s postal address using 44777 is not an entrance.
The parking note for Bochum Central Cemetery should be read together with local signs on arrival. If a short or step-free route is essential, ask City of Bochum – municipal services, cemeteries which entrance serves the destination and whether the required route is suitable.
