Hauptfriedhof

Visitor address and tram

The verified address is Friedhofstraße 8, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau. Tram line 2 serves the Hauptfriedhof stop. The map marker identifies a position within the cemetery grounds and should not be interpreted as an entrance. The municipal operator provides a cemetery mobile for visitors with limited mobility; this does not support a blanket claim about the accessibility of every path.

Seasonal opening times

The grounds open daily at 07:00 from April to October and at 08:00 from November to March. Closing is at nightfall throughout the year. Because that time varies with the season and weather, allow sufficient margin for a late visit and check any short-notice notice from the operator.

Historic urban green space

Hauptfriedhof opened in 1872. At 27.09 hectares, it is Freiburg’s largest cemetery. It is run by the city’s Eigenbetrieb Friedhöfe. The combination of a clear visitor address, public transport and a mobility service assists with planning, but a section, plot, row and number are still needed to locate a particular grave.

Requesting grave care

A precise enquiry should identify the cemetery and grave, describe the requested work and provide a realistic time frame. An existing photograph may help explain the care required. This portal is an independent guide and is neither the municipal operator nor an official cemetery website.
