The main cemetery of Frankfurt am Main was opened in 1828. It is located on Eckenheimer Landstraße and, together with the two directly adjacent Jewish cemeteries, forms one of the largest cemetery complexes in Germany. Its monumental portal buildings and garden architecture, grave monuments dating back over 180 years, and the gravesites of numerous important personalities make it an accumulation of historical, artistic and human traces in Frankfurt am Main. Since the beginning of the 16th century, most of the city's dead were buried in the Peterskirchhof in the Neustadt. After the introduction of the Reformation, the Peterskirchhof was reserved for the Protestant dead of the Old Town and the New Town; Sachsenhausen had its own cemetery. The old Jewish cemetery belonged to the area of Judengasse, the Jewish ghetto, while the few Catholic dead were buried in the churchyard belonging to the cathedral. (Source: Wikipedia)
