Resting point

Cemeteries are not only places of mourning, they are also places of peace, reflection and encounter - they are places of life. The cemetery newspaper Ruhepunkt is published twice a year to provide information about Offenbach's cemeteries, to get to know what they have to offer and to tell interesting stories about everyday cemetery life. You can find the articles from the latest issue online on this page.
