    Since 1960, the members of the Essen cathedral chapter have been buried in the middle of the cloister. The cloister is located next to the cathedral near Kettwiger Straße.

    🌿 Peace and quiet in the heart of the city – the cloister of Essen Cathedral is a place steeped in history and soul.

    For over 1000 years, it has served as a sanctuary, once for the nuns, now for all who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center. Between ancient walls, green lawns, and the tranquil chapter cemetery, one can feel the connection between past and present. A stroll through the stone passageways is like a brief step back in time – quiet, dignified, and inspiring.
