Südfriedhof, Cemetery in Dottendorf district, Bonn, Germany.
Südfriedhof is a cemetery in the Dottendorf district that holds gravestones, monuments, and mausoleums spanning different periods. The grounds display how burial customs and memorial styles changed over centuries.
The cemetery was founded in 1715 as the first burial ground outside Bonn's original town walls. This opening allowed the city to expand beyond its previous limits.
The Schumann grave draws visitors who come to pay respects to the composers. The monuments here show how the city honors its cultural figures.
The cemetery is open daily until sunset, with times changing by season. The grounds are fully accessible and easy to navigate throughout.
A sculpture by Adolf Donndorf from 1880 stands here and shows the artistic skill of that period's burial monuments. This work shows the careful craftsmanship that went into memorial design during the 1800s.
