At the end of the 18th century the leather manufacturer Lucas Luettkens planted ample oaks to use them for his tan bark. Out of this, his grandson developed today's Eichtalpark in 1870. Alongside the river Wandse which flows through the park, a beautiful trekking path leads from the Alster to Volksdorf.
The Öjendorf cemetery is one of the newest of Hamburg´s three main cemeteries. Designed as a cemetery with a park, Öjendorf grew to become an urban space after the Second World War. In 1966, the park was opened to the public. The road system in the cemetery is very well-organised. There is a ring- road for cars. Characteristic features of the cemetery are the round and equally sized grave sites on grass. Trees alongside each site give one the illusion of individual small cemeteries within the park. The design of the park divides the public spaces from the ones belonging to the cemetery.
CEMETERY CHAPEL BUILDINGS The cemetery of Öjendorf has three cemetery chapel buildings. These halls are connected via the so-called "Flower Street", where the floral decoration can be delivered for the funerals. Hall number 2 is still in its original condition and can also be used for filming. The access to the hall leads past a waiting room. The waiting rooms are equipped with a dark slate floor, photographs on the walls, tables and chairs. The alley to the hall is panelled in wood. The incident daylight is refracted by the large, bright and coloured windows. Inside there are simple benches in rows, a gallery and a coffin lift. Shooting is possible. The buildings can be used for shooting according to prior agreement.
