Melatenfriedhof: Breakfast & guided tour on Saturday morning
The Cologne cemetery gardeners invite you to a guided tour of the Melatenfriedhof cemetery on April 6, 2024. Everyone who is interested in exciting, interesting, curious and sometimes amusing facts from centuries of cemetery history is welcome.
The guided tour with Günter Leitner, a well-known cemetery expert and Cologne connoisseur, will not only include large and small graves worth seeing and appropriate Cologne tales. Gardening tips on the correct use of plants and professional summer care will also be shared.
Before the varied walk, Café Herrmann (near Melaten cemetery) offers a rich breakfast buffet for the perfect start to the weekend. It is therefore essential to book in advance by telephone.
Cemeteries are more than just places of mourning and remembrance. They are also oases of peace and ecological niches in the middle of the big city with rich fauna and flora. It is precisely this message that the Cologne cemetery gardeners are conveying this year as part of various themed cemetery tours. The first dates can be found on the homepage www.friedhofsgaertner-koeln.de, more will follow soon.
