Alter Friedhof, Cultural heritage cemetery in Heilbronn, Germany

Located on Weinsberger Straße, this former burial ground spans 3.6 hectares with over 200 historical graves and stone monuments from different periods.

Established in 1530 as a municipal Protestant burial ground near the Carmelites monastery, the cemetery replaced the closed Kilianskirchhof within the city walls.

The cemetery contains numerous gravestones of notable citizens, including physicist Robert Mayer and several mayors who shaped Heilbronn's development.

The site now functions as a public park with maintained pathways, featuring a playground and preserved historical monuments from the 16th to 19th centuries.

During World War II, the cemetery housed collections from the Robert Mayer Museum, which were lost in the December 1944 air raid.
