 A friedhof is a cemetary. This one is up behind the Schloss (castle). This woman was tending to the graves. These are all fairly recent, and just down a bit was one that was dated 30 Mar 2007. I'd imagine some further up the hill may have been a bit older.

You probably already know this...Germans take great pride in the upkeep of plots of family members, and it can be quite disgraceful if they look poorly tended. Also of interest is the fact that most plots are short term leases, if your lease isn't renewed by family you're out of there.

The markers are quite different than the ones I've seen. Koblenz is not so far from the area I use to visit(I'm assuming this is the Koblenz kind of west of Frankfurt), you would think that they would be very similar.

I bet within a few feet a where you took this photo, there is a well or spicket and a rack full of watering cans. Keep those Germany pics coming I'm loving all those flashbacks and memories that you keep stirring up.
