Guided tour of Melaten and its most beautiful places
Melaten is not just a cemetery, Melaten is city history, art history, landscape conservation area, cultural space and oasis in the middle of the city. Before Melaten became a cemetery over 200 years ago, it was already a place of execution and leprosy station far outside the gates of the city. Today, the cemetery is the final resting place for many Cologne residents, there are about 55000 graves here. And since we live in Cologne, this is of course the place for many stories and anecdotes.
