Plan a cemetery walk
Herne South 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 Wiescherstraße 123, 44623 Herne.
- Pedestrian gate
- Friedhof Wiescherstraße: Marker for the mapped object; not a surveyed entrance. Check the direction and current timetable before travelling.
- Parking area: Marker for the mapped object; not a surveyed entrance. Check local signs, access conditions and available spaces.
Friedhof Wiescherstraße stop is beside the cemetery. Check the current timetable before travelling.
Parking areas are mapped around the cemetery on Wiescherstraße. Use the map for their location and check conditions and availability on arrival.
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
- Water tap: Water point for grave care; year-round availability is not stated here.
Infrastructure markers indicate position only. If access to a facility is essential, ask City of Herne, Urban Greenery Department – South Cemetery administration, Susanne Söntgen; office Meesmannstraße 9, 44625 Herne whether it will be available at the intended time.
Visiting framework
The visiting hours displayed at the entrances apply. No numerical gate times are given here; contact the office beforehand for a visit near the start or end of the day.
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 Herne South 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 Herne, Urban Greenery Department – South Cemetery administration, Susanne Söntgen; office Meesmannstraße 9, 44625 Herne.
