Origins and development
The cemetery originated around 1800; records of its first burial were lost during the Second World War. A Protestant section was added in 1919; denominational separation ended in 1929. The small chapel was built in 1953, eastern expansion began in 1954, and a new chapel followed in 1980/81.
Origins: around 1800. The cemetery is in Düsseldorf, at Itterstraße 116, 40589 Düsseldorf. Its area is approximately 18.3 hectares.
Design and present-day character
The grounds in Holthausen combine mature trees, two chapel areas and a columbarium in the former small chapel. An eastern exit leads towards Elbroich Park. Despite the cemetery’s name, its Itterstraße entrance is in Holthausen.
