Fackelspaziergänge der Kölner Friedhofsgärtner

In the organizer's words:

The Cologne cemetery gardeners invite you to this year's torchlight walks on November 8 and 15, 2025.

  • 08.11.2025 Melatenfriedhof - SOLD OUT
  • 15.11.2025 North Cemetery

Experiencing a cemetery by firelight is a special experience. The gravestones take on a different, more intense aura and your own thoughts on life and transience are even more profound than during the day. Everyone who is interested in exciting, interesting, curious and sometimes amusing facts from centuries of cemetery history is welcome.

The guided tour with Günter Leitner, a well-known cemetery expert and Cologne connoisseur, includes not only large and small graves worth seeing and appropriate Cologne tales. The cooperative will also provide tips on grave design and care.

The "burial gardens" will also be visited as specially designed burial grounds.
