Stadtfriedhof Göttingen, Municipal cemetery in Göttingen, Germany
The Stadtfriedhof Göttingen is a cemetery between Jheringstrasse and Kasseler Landstrasse with tree-lined paths, memorial stones, and a central pond. The grounds feature a thoughtful layout with organized sections and surrounding vegetation.
The cemetery opened in 1881 and became a place of scientific significance. Nine Nobel Prize winners are buried here, which led to the creation of the Nobel Circle memorial in 2006.
The chapel completed in 1900 marks the end of the plane tree avenue with its symmetrical design and prominent tower. It reflects how the community shaped this space as a place for remembrance and reflection.
The cemetery is located at Kasseler Landstrasse 1 and maintains regular opening hours for visitors. The Torhaus Gallery on the grounds hosts several art exhibitions throughout the year.
The Nornen Fountain features three female figures from Germanic mythology representing past, present, and future. This artistic installation adds symbolic depth to the grounds.
