Südfriedhof, Cemetery in Cottbus, Germany.

Südfriedhof is a 2.27-hectare cemetery in Cottbus, entered from Straße der Jugend through a narrow brick gate in Nordic brick Gothic style. A main avenue leads south to the 1904 neo-Gothic funeral hall, whose interior retains restored floral wall paintings and original choir tiles. The grounds include earth, cremation and woodland burial areas, plus a war graves section and the New Jewish Cemetery in the south.

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 main avenue holds the graves of Cottbus figures such as surgeon Carl Thiem (1850–1917), architect and city councillor Ewald Schulz (1850–1906), local politician Karl Dölling (1922–1986) and sports journalist Jana Thiel (1971–2016). In the south lie the war graves of military and civilian victims of both world wars, and the New Jewish Cemetery. The 1945 bell tower stands near the graves of the victims of the air raid of 15 February 1945.

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.
