Locating the graves

No precise grave position is shown here for Rudi Conin, Johannes Fastenrath, Heinrich Flatten, Fakhri Kaddori, René König and Josef Krautkrämer. Ask City of Cologne, Office for Landscape Management and Green Spaces for the section, row and grave number, then relate that reference to an entrance or named landmark on the general cemetery map.

Images for recognition

Grave or memorial photographs are shown for Johannes Fastenrath, Heinrich Flatten and Josef Krautkrämer. Use a photograph only as a recognition aid after obtaining the grave reference; it does not replace the section, row and grave number.

Ask about another person

Send City of Cologne, Office for Landscape Management and Green Spaces the full name, known life dates, possible spelling variants and an approximate burial period. Ask specifically for the section, row and grave number. Include Venloer Straße 1132, 50829 Köln so the enquiry identifies Cologne West Cemetery when the operator manages more than one cemetery.
