Au-Friedhof

The Au-Friedhof is a cemetery in Bad Säckingen with numerous tombstones and monuments arranged along pathways throughout the grounds. Mature trees provide shade over the burial sites and create a calm space for remembrance.

The cemetery was founded in 1815 and contains graves documenting how burial customs evolved in southwestern Germany over two centuries. The inscriptions and monuments record generations of families from the region.

The tombstones showcase regional craftsmanship with carved patterns and inscriptions that reflect local burial traditions and family values. These markers show how the community honored and remembered those who passed.

The cemetery is open daily through the main entrance with visitor parking and informational signs to guide you. A daytime visit works best so you can clearly read the inscriptions and details on the monuments.

Genealogists and historians use the cemetery as a research location because the detailed grave inscriptions and records reveal much about families from the area. The tombstones serve as a historical record showing family connections across generations.
