Südfriedhof, Cemetery in Cottbus, Germany.
Südfriedhof is a cemetery in Cottbus featuring a neo-Gothic chapel and a narrow brick gate designed in Nordic Gothic style. The grounds contain sections for earth burials, cremations, and woodland burials with their corresponding memorial areas.
The cemetery was established in 1900 and opened in 1904 under Mayor Paul Werner's leadership. Its creation occurred during a period when the city was modernizing its public facilities.
The cemetery contains separate sections for military graves alongside various burial options, reflecting how the community honors different forms of remembrance. Walking through, you notice how these distinct areas show the values and choices of people over generations.
