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.
The cemetery is accessible via Hermann-Löns-Straße 1 and has parking available nearby. The grounds feature clear pathways that are easy to navigate on foot.
The memorial hall underwent major restoration work in 2009, revealing the original floral murals and decorative tilework from when it first opened. This renovation uncovered details that had been hidden for decades.
