Locating the grave
The map below marks the grave of Robert Schumann. The point identifies the monument rather than a cemetery entrance. Use address and directions for arrival and the cemetery map for orientation on the grounds.
Images for recognition
Grave or memorial photographs are shown for Robert Schumann. Use a photograph only as a recognition aid after obtaining the grave reference; it does not replace the section, row and grave number.
Ask about another person
Send City of Bonn – Environment and Urban Greenery Department the full name, known life dates, possible spelling variants and an approximate burial period. Ask specifically for the section, row and grave number. Include Bornheimer Straße / Am Alten Friedhof, 53111 Bonn so the enquiry identifies Bonn Old Cemetery when the operator manages more than one cemetery.
