This guide introduces selected biographies and graves connected with Nuremberg West Cemetery, including Willy Prölß. It is not a complete account of the people buried at the cemetery.
Locating the graves
No precise grave position is shown here for Willy Prölß. Ask Nuremberg Cemetery Administration for the section, row and grave number, then relate that reference to an entrance or named landmark on the general cemetery map.
Images for recognition
No grave or memorial photograph is shown for the selected people. Rely on the exact grave reference from Nuremberg Cemetery Administration rather than on an assumed visual match.
Ask about another person
Send Nuremberg Cemetery Administration the full name, known life dates, possible spelling variants and an approximate burial period. Ask specifically for the section, row and grave number. Include Schnieglinger Straße 71, 90425 Nürnberg so the enquiry identifies Nuremberg West Cemetery when the operator manages more than one cemetery.
