Available plan information
Use Official cemetery plan for orientation. This plan information applies to Gerresheim Forest Cemetery; use it together with the named points below rather than as a substitute for an individual grave reference.
What the markers do and do not mean
A marker on the Gerresheim Forest Cemetery map identifies a named place at the cemetery. It does not by itself state that a building is open, that a route is step-free or that a grave lies nearby. For those needs, combine the marker with the access details, the grave reference and, where necessary, an enquiry to the cemetery administration.

Use the map for a grave visit
The map of Gerresheim Forest Cemetery does not provide a complete grave register. To find one grave, first obtain the section, row and grave number through grave search or from City of Düsseldorf – parks, cemeteries and forestry department. Next, locate that section on the linked plan and choose the closest named orientation point for the final approach.
