Plan a cemetery walk
Magdeburg West Cemetery has several precisely located cultural, architectural or biographical points that can inform a self-planned visit. They are presented as independent subjects, not as a prescribed sequence.
- Memorial: The marker shows the position of the mapped object.
- Friedhofskapelle: Marker for the mapped object area; not a surveyed entrance.
- Gedenkstätte für die Opfer des Luftangriffs vom 16. Januar1945: The marker shows the position of the mapped object.
These are independent orientation points. Find them on the map below; the information defines no order, distance or duration.
