Ohlsdorf Cemetery Museum

The beautiful 400-hectare park cemetery at Ohldorf has 12 chapels and a little museum in its well-kept grounds. It is one of the few European museums to deal with death and dying. Among other things, you can learn about old and new styles of funeral and those available at Ohlsdorf cemetery. The museum has old maps and tools, as well as particularly nice tombstone sculptures, urns and some of the cemetery's oldest tombstones. You can even see where Hamburg's celebrities are buried and visit their graves.
