With over 55,000 graves, Melaten is the largest cemetery in Cologne. Many celebrities have
have found their final resting place here. We visit their graves in the dark. Not
not only the Grim Reaper is interesting...This guided tour combines the art-historical value of
Melaten with a nature experience: the art historian Asja Bölke and the bat specialist Sus
bat specialist Susanne Roer make this possible.
Like any green space, the cemetery is also home to wild animals in the city. We
will see and call the wild animals. Rabbits and bats will show themselves,
when we are quiet. Maybe even an owl or another bird of prey.
Meeting point: Melaten cemetery / entrance Piusstr.
Experts: Susanne Roer and Asja Bölke
