Friedenspark, Public park in Leipzig, Germany

The park extends over 17.5 hectares between Ostplatz and the Russian Orthodox Church, featuring two parallel north-south avenues through its rectangular layout.

The land originally housed the Neuer Johannisfriedhof cemetery from 1846 until 1950, with its chapel and mortuary designed by architect Hugo Licht in 1881.

The park includes dedicated areas such as the Apothecary Garden, which displays over 300 medicinal and poisonous plants for educational and research purposes.

Located in Leipzig's central-southeast district, the park connects to Linnestrasse on the west side and borders the Samuel Heinecke School for hearing-impaired students.

A memorial site within the park commemorates children who died at Dösen Asylum during the National Socialist period, preserving this historical chapter.
