Visitor address and access
Main entrance and further access on Stadionstraße, plus Luruper Hauptstraße/Tannenberg, Elly-See-Straße, Vorhornweg, Bornmoor and Hellgrundweg. Choose the entrance according to the grave section.
Use that access information as the starting point for Altona Main 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
Stadionstraße: buses 2, 3, 284, 602 and X3; Tannenberg: 2, 3, 284 and 602; Rugenbarg (Nord): 22, 284 and 392; Farnhornweg: 22, 284 and 293; Hellgrundweg (Arenen): 22. Check current routes and operating times before travelling.
For a public-transport journey to Altona Main Cemetery, compare the stop or station in that guidance with Stadionstraße 5, 22525 Hamburg and the intended entrance. This avoids planning only to the cemetery boundary when the destination lies elsewhere within the grounds.
Parking
Parking is available on Stadionstraße and near Vorhornweg and Bornmoor. Use the main entrance for the chapel and administration; choose a nearer entrance for distant sections.
The parking note for Altona Main Cemetery should be read together with local signs on arrival. If a short or step-free route is essential, ask Altona district authority – cemetery administration which entrance serves the destination and whether the required route is suitable.
