Use the map for a grave visit
The map of Dortmund Eastern Cemetery does not provide a complete grave register. To find one grave, first obtain the section, row and grave number through grave search or from Friedhöfe Dortmund – City of Dortmund. Next, locate that section on the linked plan and choose the closest named orientation point for the final approach.
What the markers do and do not mean
A marker on the Dortmund Eastern Cemetery map identifies a named place at the cemetery. It does not by itself state that a building is open, that a route is step-free or that a grave lies nearby. For those needs, combine the marker with the access details, the grave reference and, where necessary, an enquiry to the cemetery administration.
