This guide introduces selected biographies and graves connected with Cologne North Cemetery, including Arthur Adam, Hein Bollow, Robert Gerling, Trude Herr, Hugo Schmölz and Franz Wilhelm Seiwert. It is not a complete account of the people buried at the cemetery.
Locating the graves
No precise grave position is shown here for Arthur Adam, Hein Bollow, Robert Gerling, Trude Herr, Hugo Schmölz and Franz Wilhelm Seiwert. 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 Robert Gerling, Trude Herr, Hugo Schmölz and Franz Wilhelm Seiwert. 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 Pallenbergstraße, 50737 Köln so the enquiry identifies Cologne North Cemetery when the operator manages more than one cemetery.
