Clarify before arranging grave care
Before requesting work at Bonn Old Cemetery, assemble the complete grave reference and identify the grave type. Record the section, row and grave number, the name on the grave and the person authorised to commission care. Ask City of Bonn – Environment and Urban Greenery Department which rules apply to that grave and section before choosing planting or structural work.
Define the work clearly
The whole cemetery has been listed since 1984. Burials are now occasional and mainly concern existing family graves or historic-grave sponsorship arrangements. Before commissioning work, establish the relevant right or agreement and discuss the proposed task with the responsible office.
For Bonn Old Cemetery, state whether the request is one-off or recurring. Describe the present planting, the preferred period and the required tasks, such as watering, pruning or seasonal decoration. Include photographs only as practical context, and make clear which elements should remain untouched. This gives a provider a precise scope without assuming what the cemetery permits.
Access and transporting materials
The map shows 2 precisely mapped entrances. The visitor address is Bornheimer Straße / Am Alten Friedhof, 53111 Bonn.
The map shows the Bonn-City/Hbf parking garage and Stadthausgarage. The city identifies parking at Stadthausgarage for visitors with severe disabilities. Both garages charge fees; check current tariffs, opening hours and signs.
Use both notes when planning materials for Bonn Old Cemetery. Ask the administration whether the intended entrance may be used for equipment, whether vehicle access is allowed and how waste or reusable containers should be handled for the particular grave.
