Location:
Coming from the direction of Magdeburg, one drives in the direction of the center to a fork, from which it goes half-right to the center of the village and half-left over the railroad into Wilhelm-Heilge-Strasse. From this street one turns into the second possibility to the left, into the Welsleber Str. The third street to the left is the Dorotheenstr., a dead end, at whose end - before the ramp of an overpass over the railroad - the cemetery lies.
