After almost 20 years, the ravages of time have left their mark on the first star garden at Mainz Main Cemetery, where burials took place between November 2004 and May 2011.

The paths must be repaired and cleaned, and some of the plantings in the graveyard must be replanted so that this special place continues to look dignified in the future.

Wirtschaftsbetrieb Mainz, the municipal agency responsible for the city’s cemeteries, will begin the work in early September and therefore asks everyone affected to remove grave decorations, candles, ornaments, etc., by September 6—for a period of approximately five weeks. Once the work is complete, these items can, of course, be returned to their original locations.

If you are unable to do so, we will take care of it and store the mementos with our cemetery caretaker.
