Bergfriedhof, Cultural heritage cemetery in Heidelberg, Germany.
The Bergfriedhof extends across 15 hectares with over 20 kilometers of paths through gardens and memorial grounds in central Heidelberg.
Garden architect Johann Metzger designed this burial ground in 1842, which opened its gates to the public in 1844 as Heidelberg's main cemetery.
The grounds contain the final resting places of notable figures including President Friedrich Ebert, scientist Robert Bunsen, and composer Wilhelm Furtwangler.
Visitors can access detailed cemetery records and burial locations through the administration office, which maintains documentation of over 5000 memorial sites.
A population of collared parakeets has established residence within the cemetery grounds, creating an unexpected natural environment among the memorials.
