Friedhof Altona

Address and map position

Friedhof Altona forms part of the municipal portfolio operated by Bezirksamt Altona – Management des öffentlichen Raumes. The documented address is Stadionstraße 5, 22525 Hamburg. It identifies the cemetery for navigation, correspondence and a grave care enquiry. The interactive map marker sits within the mapped cemetery grounds. It supports orientation and must not be interpreted as a particular entrance, parking area or administration building.

Preparing a practical visit

Before a time-critical visit to Friedhof Altona, check the operator’s latest short-notice guidance. The separately published administration schedule is: Cemetery office: Mon to Fri 08:00–13:00. These are not additional opening hours for the grounds. Seven named entrances are served by several bus routes. Parking is identified at Stadionstraße/main entrance and at Vorhornweg/Bornmoor.

Site profile and orientation

Opened in 1923, the 63-hectare main cemetery is the largest in Altona district and has a park-like design. Its published site facts are: Opened: 1 November 1923; Area: 63 hectares; Design: Ferdinand Tutenberg, following cemetery-reform principles. An official site plan is available from the operator page. Allow enough time between the chosen approach and the intended grave when planning a fixed appointment.

Making a precise grave care enquiry

An enquiry for Friedhof Altona should include the full cemetery name, exact grave reference and requested work. A realistic time frame, any important occasion and a reliable contact method help with follow-up. A recent photograph, when already available, may explain the current condition but does not replace a section, row or grave number. This portal brings together independently researched visitor information and links to GraveStay for the enquiry itself. It is neither an official authority website nor the cemetery administration for Friedhof Altona.
