Alter Friedhof, Communal cemetery in Westliche Höhe, Flensburg, Germany
The cemetery grounds extend in a teardrop shape, enclosed by cyclopean walls and containing numerous restored 19th-century gravestones and monuments.
Established in 1811, this burial ground marked a shift in German urban planning as Flensburg became the first city to relocate cemeteries outside city limits.
The cemetery features a classicist chapel designed by architect Axel Bundsen and incorporates elements of landscape park architecture throughout its grounds.
Located at Reepschlägerbahn 26 in Flensburg, the cemetery maintains approximately 500 preserved graves from an estimated 25,000 historical burials.
A sphinx statue guards the Görrissen family tomb, distinguishing it from other grave monuments within the cemetery grounds.
