Women's garden
The women's garden is a memorial of the Garden of Women Association , which is located in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg and which commemorates women who were important in Hamburg's history . It is a 1600 square meter site northeast of the Ohlsdorf water tower , which opened in July 2001 and contains 402 grave sites. There are 80 historical gravestones in the women's garden. There are 59 names on the spiral made of many sandstones. The idea for this women's garden came from the historian Rita Bake , who founded the garden with the help of Helga Diercks-Norden and Silke Urbanski . The area is supported, designed, financed and looked after by the Garden of Women Association, which was founded in 2000 on the initiative of the three women .

The memorial complex is used for three different types of remembrance. The museum tombstones are the tombstones saved from destruction and moved to this location. They make up the original idea of the women's garden : the women who helped shape Hamburg's history should be kept in permanent memory, even when the useful life of their graves has expired and no one pays the renewal fees. In such cases the grave sites are abandoned and the tombstones destroyed. To prevent the stones from being destroyed, the Women's Garden Association relocates the gravestones to the women's garden at its own expense. Another place of remembrance in the women's garden is the spiral of remembrance , composed of individual memorial stones for women who had no gravestones or whose stones have already been disposed of. The third type of grave consists of stone waves sunk flat into the ground in communal graves, where women of the present are buried who bought a grave place in the women's garden during their lifetime and were members of the women's garden association.
The women's garden is complemented by exhibitions that take place regularly in the historic water tower on Cordesallee - very close to the women's garden at the Ohlsdorf cemetery - as well as by stands with aluminum panels distributed in the women's garden, which are grouped in a ring binder Introduce short biographies of the women honored here. There are some information boards around a pavilion covered with roses, in the middle there is the sculpture Memory by Doris Waschk-Balz .
Historic tombstones
Since the creation of the women's garden in 2001, more than 60 historical gravestones have been erected, i.e. those stones that were preserved after the grave was dismantled. Many of them are right at the entrance to the site, others are spread across the area. For example, the stone of a historically significant woman is placed at the head of every communal grave. These are public figures in Hamburg, founders and patrons , visual artists , musicians , writers , actresses , singers and dancers , theater principals , professors , teachers , politicians and rebels after the 1848 revolution , members of the parliament , trade unionists and resistance fighters against the Nazi regime.
In addition to memories, the collection also provides an insight into the history of grave culture within the Ohlsdorf cemetery. The rock tombstones for Lola Töpke and Martha Hachmann-Zipser or stones from classicism and historicism , for example for Emmy Beckmann and Amelie Ruths, have been preserved from the time of the first burials there . The so-called semicircular grotto stones that became fashionable at the beginning of the 20th century and simulate a cave-like opening can be found for Marie Hirsch and Paula Westendorf , the high steles , which were also modern at the time, are reminiscent of Antonie Milberg , Annie Kalmar and Wilhelmine Marstrand . There are also the strictly regulated stones from the time of National Socialism , which had to be made of “German material”, had an ornament and had Gothic script , for example for the graves of Karli Bozenhard and Yvonne Mewes . There are also industrially manufactured gravestones with the clear shapes of the post-war period, for example for Bertha Keyser or Magda Bullerdiek .
Memory spiral
In 2002, a so-called spiral of memories was created next to the historical stones. It should keep alive the memory of those women whose grave sites were no longer preserved or who did not have their own gravestones in Ohlsdorf. The spiral symbolizes the recurring life and is formed from individually designed memorial stones. It was constantly expanded in the following years and includes more than 50 names. In particular, women are remembered who were considered Hamburg originals, who were particularly committed to the rights of women or who were persecuted by the Nazi regime. In 2007, the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All , the Garden of Women Association dedicated itself in particular to people who were discriminated against because of their ethnic origin, their sexual orientation, their religion or belief, a disability, their age or their gender. In this sense, a symbol was set with a stone designed as a column and bearing a symbolized globe. This stone is dedicated to the women's rights activist Gunda Werner and the Princess of Oman Emily Ruete as representatives for those affected by the issue . A commemorative stone for Erna Hoffmann commemorates the female euthanasia victims of the Nazi era who starved to death due to food deprivation. Their translucent, starved bodies are symbolized by the glass fragments placed in the hollow of the stone. The hollow is enclosed by bars and shows that women are locked up. A stone with holes in it commemorates Christel K., a female victim of domestic violence who was shot by her husband. Since 2015, a memorial stone made of black basalt with a light in the hollow of the stone has been commemorating the women who were accused and burned as witches in Hamburg in the 16th and 17th centuries (= stone for Abelke Bleken ).
Community graves
In addition to the museum graves, the female members of the Women's Garden Association have the opportunity to purchase a grave site within the women's garden. Urn and coffin burials are carried out in so-called communal graves, each with a historical stone at the head end. Uniform stones are laid here, which are modeled on water waves. They are considered a symbol of eternal life and are provided with the names and dates of birth and death of the deceased. There are now 402 such grave sites in the complex. Since its foundation, some prominent women from Hamburg's social life have also been buried in the women's garden , for example on April 30, 2003 the actress and theater director Gerda Gmelin , in March 2009 the prostitute and street worker Domenica Niehoff , in July 2010 the psychiatrist and university professor and first woman to be appointed to a chair for child and adolescent psychiatry in Germany, Thea Louise Schönfelder and, in September 2011, the chamber singer Helga Pilarczyk.
List of women
The following list names the women who are remembered in the garden. The columns of the table can be sorted. When you click on the arrow, the dates of life are sorted according to the date of death, the stone category differentiates between historical stone, memorial stone and grave sites. The division into groups follows the publication by Rita Bake: The women's garden , according to which the women honored here stand on behalf of many others who were active in the respective field.
Since several names are carved on some stones, these images can be found several times.
