Friedhof Ohlsdorf

Main address and transport

The verified main address is Fuhlsbüttler Straße 756, 22337 Hamburg. S1, S11 and U1 serve Ohlsdorf, with the main entrance about a three-minute walk from the station. Bus routes 170 and 270 operate within the exceptionally large grounds. The main map shows a point inside the cemetery and must not be read as a particular entrance.

Access on foot, by bicycle and by car

Pedestrians and cyclists can use the side entrances daily from 07:00 to 21:00. Vehicle entrances are open from 09:00 to 21:00 between April and October, and from 09:00 to 18:00 between November and March. The cemetery itself is accessible on all 365 days of the year.

Specific accessibility guidance

The historic administration building can only be reached by steps, so accessible consultation is provided in Forum Ohlsdorf. Accessible toilets are identified in the Forum, the information building and at chapels 11 and 13. These specific details do not support a blanket statement about every path across the 389-hectare site.

Park cemetery and grave care

The operator describes Ohlsdorf as the world’s largest park cemetery and Hamburg’s largest green space. Its grounds contain 450 species of deciduous and coniferous woody plants. A grave-care enquiry should include the cemetery, plot, row, number and requested work. This portal is independent and is not operated by Hamburger Friedhöfe.
