Leipzig South Cemetery, Heritage cemetery and park in Probstheida, Germany.
The Southern Cemetery of Leipzig extends over 82 hectares, featuring tree-lined paths arranged in a linden leaf pattern across the grounds.
The cemetery opened its gates in 1886 under Mayor Carl Bruno Tröndlin, starting with 54 hectares and expanding to its current size after World War II.
Art Nouveau architectural elements define the central chapel complex, which includes a 63-meter bell tower and a columbarium built between 1907 and 1909.
Visitors can explore the cemetery's extensive network of paths, observing numerous monuments and graves while encountering various bird species and red squirrels.
The grounds contain 10,000 rhododendron plants and uncommon trees such as sweetgum, Chinese sequoia, and ginkgo biloba specimens.
