Kapelle Ostfriedhof

Here you are, standing before the chapel of the Ostfriedhof, a site that has held a special significance in Paderborn since its inauguration on May 21, 1866. This chapel is nestled within the historic cemetery, the city’s first municipal burial ground, now fully protected as a historic monument. The chapel's simple architecture harmonizes seamlessly with its surroundings, creating a space of quiet contemplation. While you're here, you can sense the peaceful nature of this cemetery, serving as a place for farewell and remembrance. If you look southwest, the Langenohlkapelle is just 110 meters away. This site is not for lingering but for respectful reflection on the many stories that rest here.
