Alter Friedhof, Architectural heritage cemetery in Schwerin, Germany.
The 28-hectare Alter Friedhof cemetery stretches across the southern Obotritenring in Schwerin's Weststadt district, featuring numerous grave monuments and chapels.
The cemetery, established in 1863 by architect Georg Adolf Demmler, replaced the cathedral cemetery following a decision by the city magistrate and church council.
The cemetery contains graves of notable figures including architect Georg Adolf Demmler, sculptor Hugo Berwald, and writer Friedrich Schlie among its historical monuments.
Since 1969, new burials occur only in existing family plots, while the grounds serve as a peaceful park space for visitors and residents.
The 1930 crematorium, constructed in Bauhaus architectural style, stands as a testament to changing burial practices in twentieth-century Germany.
