Site profile and orientation

Established in 1968, this 35-hectare cemetery is Hannover’s youngest city cemetery. Sections for Yezidi burials have existed since 1989. Its published site facts are: Established: 1968; Area: 35 hectares; Nickname: Sonnenfriedhof (sun cemetery). The official short guide contains a site plan; the light-filled design largely avoids symmetrical sight lines. Allow enough time between the chosen approach and the intended grave when planning a fixed appointment.

Making a precise grave care enquiry

An enquiry for Stadtfriedhof Lahe should include the full cemetery name, exact grave reference and requested work. A realistic time frame, any important occasion and a reliable contact method help with follow-up. A recent photograph, when already available, may explain the current condition but does not replace a section, row or grave number. This portal brings together independently researched visitor information and links to GraveStay for the enquiry itself. It is neither an official authority website nor the cemetery administration for Stadtfriedhof Lahe.
