Visitor address and access
The Quadenhofstraße entrance serves the lower section. The official plan shows further entrances on Rotthäuser Weg and in the southern and eastern parts. Confirm whether a funeral is at the upper or lower chapel.
Use that access information as the starting point for Gerresheim Forest Cemetery, especially when the destination is a named section or an appointment rather than a general walk. The visitor address identifies the cemetery, while the most useful entrance depends on the purpose of the visit.
Orientation after arrival
- Pedestrian gate 1
- Cemetery chapel 1
- Karte Friedhof Gerresheim

- Schönaustraße
These are 6 of the 56 named points available for Gerresheim Forest Cemetery. Locate the chosen entrance first, then use the nearest named point to orient the final part of the walk. The cemetery map is an orientation aid; an individual grave additionally needs a section, row and grave number.
Public transport
Bus route 724 serves Waldfriedhof. The city also lists U73 and routes 724 and 737 via Schönaustraße. A free cemetery minibus is offered for funerals and afternoon visitors; ask about current times and boarding points in advance.
For a public-transport journey to Gerresheim Forest Cemetery, compare the stop or station in that guidance with Quadenhofstraße 151, 40625 Düsseldorf and the intended entrance. This avoids planning only to the cemetery boundary when the destination lies elsewhere within the grounds.
Parking
The official plan shows parking on Quadenhofstraße and by the upper entrance at Rotthäuser Weg. Choose the car park according to the grave section or chapel to avoid unnecessary climbs.
The parking note for Gerresheim Forest Cemetery should be read together with local signs on arrival. If a short or step-free route is essential, ask City of Düsseldorf – parks, cemeteries and forestry department which entrance serves the destination and whether the required route is suitable.
