Winter at Assistens Cemetery
A very snowy saturday afternoon I took a walk at the Assistens Cemetery. It was established in 1760 outside of the walls of Copenhagen, which then grew around the Cemetary, and became Nørrebro, a district of Copenhagen. Nørrebro is a multi-ethnic part of the city with a lot of shops and restaurants, people and noise everywhere – when one enters the quiet grounds of the cemetery all sounds of the city disappears, and you can find a place to breathe – – – – – in the middle of a busy city.
Poets, Musicians and Writers
The cemetery is still in use, but most of the people burried here are famous poets, writers, musicians and business people: H.C. Andersen (writer), Niels Bohr (scientist and Nobel Prize winner) and Søren Kierkegaard lies next to American jazz musicians Kenny Drew and Ben Webster.
