Heidefriedhof, Dresden, Cultural heritage cemetery in Dresden, Germany.

The Heidefriedhof extends across 4 hectares of land surrounded by woodland, containing numerous graves, monuments, and a columbarium for urn burials.

Founded in 1901 as a Garrison Cemetery near a military hospital, the site transformed from a military burial ground to a public cemetery after World War II.

The cemetery holds annual memorial services to honor victims of National Socialism and contains the graves of notable figures like Felix von Barth and Hans Oster.

Multiple pathways, including Marienallee and Kannenhenkelweg, provide access to the cemetery, which maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year.

The cemetery includes a columbarium from the 1950s that accommodates 5,500 urn burials, representing changing burial practices in post-war Germany.
