Visitor address and access
The main entrance and funeral hall are at Robert-Koch-Straße 35. Compare the official plan and map for other entrances; the grave section determines the most suitable approach.
Use that access information as the starting point for Dortmund Eastern Cemetery, especially when the destination is a named section or an appointment rather than a general walk. The visitor address identifies the cemetery, while the most useful entrance depends on the purpose of the visit.
Public transport
Plan the trip to Robert-Koch-Straße. Named stops near the cemetery are shown on the map; also bring the grave section and the entrance you intend to use.
For a public-transport journey to Dortmund Eastern Cemetery, compare the stop or station in that guidance with Robert-Koch-Straße 35, 44143 Dortmund and the intended entrance. This avoids planning only to the cemetery boundary when the destination lies elsewhere within the grounds.
