The Frankfurt Main Cemetery was opened in 1828. The cemetery is located directly adjacent to two Jewish cemeteries, the Old Jewish Cemetery (opened together with the Main Cemetery in 1828) and the New Jewish Cemetery (opened in 1928), and together they constitute one of the largest cemetery areas in Germany. The number of graves, including war graves, is about 77.000.
The cemetery is noted for its many monumental graves, its garden architecture and as the site of the graves of many notable individuals, including e.g.
Theodor W. Adorno (1903–1969), philosopher
Alois Alzheimer (1864–1915), physician
Marcel Reich-Ranicki (1920–2013), literature critic
