Guided Story

Here at the Old Cemetery Bockenheim stands the war memorial. Established in 1875, it commemorates three citizens from Bockenheim who fell during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. This cemetery was once the main burial site for the independent city of Bockenheim, before it was integrated into Frankfurt in 1895. Imagine this place as a focal point of remembrance for the local community. If you look northwest, you can see the rest of the Old Cemetery, now a peaceful park. This monument quietly preserves the memory of those lost in that war.
