Südfriedhof, Cemetery and architectural heritage monument in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Südfriedhof is a 46.1-hectare cemetery in southern Düsseldorf, between Bilk and Volmerswerth. It is planted mainly with oaks, lindens, elms and maples. The grounds follow a cross layout with a rondell, though the old main path was removed and planted in the 1960s. The chapel with mortuary, designed by Johannes Radke and Max Decker, stands at the main entrance.

The cemetery opened in 1904 as a response to the city's population growth in the late 19th century. A notable chapel with mortuary was added a few years later and remains one of the site's most important structures.

Among the honorary graves are former mayors Karl Arnold, Georg Glock and Josef Gockeln, and actor Paul Henckels. A shared grave leased by the punk band Die Toten Hosen is intended for all band members; drummer Wölli, manager Jochen Hülder and roadie Uwe Faust are buried there.

The cemetery is served by the Südfriedhof stop on tram line 709 and bus lines 723 and 893. The B1 and B326 roads run along its northern edge. The grounds cover 46.1 hectares, so allow time to walk between the chapel and the war graves.

A communal grave on the Südfriedhof is leased by the punk band Die Toten Hosen, in which all band members are to be buried; drummer Wölli, manager Jochen Hülder and roadie Uwe Faust already lie there. The cemetery has been under garden monument protection since 1994/95.
