Visitor address and access
The main entrance is at Höninger Platz; further entrances are on Kendenicher Straße and Oberer Komarweg.
Use that access information as the starting point for Cologne South Cemetery, especially when the destination is a named section or an appointment rather than a general walk. The visitor address identifies the cemetery, while the most useful entrance depends on the purpose of the visit.
Public transport
The following public transport connections serve the cemetery: Tram 12, Zollstock Südfriedhof stop; Bus routes 131, 133 and 138 and AST 182 nearby.
For a public-transport journey to Cologne South Cemetery, compare the stop or station in that guidance with Höninger Platz 25, 50969 Köln and the intended entrance. This avoids planning only to the cemetery boundary when the destination lies elsewhere within the grounds.
Parking
Three parking areas are located around the cemetery edges.
The parking note for Cologne South Cemetery should be read together with local signs on arrival. If a short or step-free route is essential, ask City of Cologne, Office for Landscape Management and Green Spaces which entrance serves the destination and whether the required route is suitable.
