Cologne Southern Cemetery, Historical cemetery in Zollstock district, Cologne, Germany.
The Cologne Southern Cemetery extends across carefully designed grounds with paved pathways leading to numerous gravestones and memorial monuments throughout the property.
Established in 1901, the cemetery became a central burial ground during World War I, containing over 2,500 servicemen graves from various Commonwealth nations.
The cemetery holds the Cologne Memorial inside its main gate, commemorating 25 British and Irish servicemen who died in Germany without identified graves.
Visitors can explore the grounds from April through early November between 7:00 and 20:00, while winter hours run from 8:00 to 17:00.
The cemetery contains graves transferred from 180 different burial sites as part of a 1922 consolidation project to create four permanent Commonwealth cemeteries in Germany.
