Alter Friedhof, Heritage cemetery and park in Saarbrücken, Germany
The Alter Friedhof spans 4 hectares, featuring historic tombstones and monuments surrounded by green spaces along sloping terrain in central Saarbrücken.
Established in 1851, the cemetery served as a burial ground until 1917, when the city administration created a new central cemetery on Metzer Straße.
Multiple graves of prominent industrial families, including Röchling, Kloevekorn, and Karcher, demonstrate the social structure of 19th-century Saarbrücken society.
Public transportation access is available through bus lines 109 and 121, with the nearest stop located at Deutschherrnstraße station.
The cemetery contains memorial sites for soldiers who perished in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 and World War I between 1914-1918.
