What makes this site distinctive
The forest cemetery opened on 18 May 1950. Its burial fields were integrated into the existing trees of Frankfurt’s municipal forest. A woodland section for urn graves now complements the conventional grave types. For visitors, the woodland setting and municipal ‘Unter Bäumen’ burial grove define the site.
