Facts and practical information

The mountain cemetery on Tübingen's Galgenberg was officially opened in 1950 and has been the city's main cemetery ever since as one of fourteen cemeteries. Even before that, due to a lack of space in the city cemetery located in the Käsenbach Valley, the first burials had to be made on the Galgenberg near the Kalleehöhe during the Second World War.
