Bartholomäusfriedhof, Göttingen, Cemetery and architectural heritage monument in Göttingen, Germany.
The Bartholomäusfriedhof spans 18,200 square meters of green space north of Göttingen old town, between Weender Landstraße and Maschmühlenweg streets.
Established in 1546 at the former site of St. Bartholomäus leprosy hospital outside the city walls, this cemetery served as Göttingen's main burial ground until 1881.
The cemetery contains graves of numerous university professors and scholars, including mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet and physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg.
The cemetery grounds feature 185 preserved tombstones, with ongoing restoration work focusing on the most significant burial sites since 2005.
Initially designated as a cemetery for the poor, the site transformed when wealthy university members chose it for burial, leading to elaborate tomb constructions.
