Cologne Southern Cemetery, Historical cemetery in Zollstock district, Cologne, Germany.

Cologne Southern Cemetery (Südfriedhof) is a 61.5-hectare park cemetery in Zollstock, Cologne, with about 47,400 graves. It was laid out from 1896 to 1901 to designs by garden architect Adolf Kowallek, with curved main paths and circular routes around the high cross. The site includes an Italian war cemetery and the Cologne War Cemetery.

The cemetery opened in 1901 and expanded significantly during World War I as a major burial ground for soldiers from Commonwealth nations. In 1922, graves were relocated here from across the country to establish permanent memorial sites in Germany.

The name Südfriedhof simply means "South Cemetery", referring to its location south of central Cologne, not to the Zollstock district. The Commonwealth War Graves section holds the Cologne Memorial: four plaques in the shelter building at its entrance list 25 British personnel who died in Germany but whose graves were never found or who drowned and were not recovered.

The cemetery is easily reached on foot and features wide, level pathways that are accessible for most visitors. It helps to visit during daylight hours so you can see the gravestones and memorials clearly.

At the entrance shelter of the Commonwealth war cemetery stands the Cologne Memorial, four plaques naming 25 British personnel who died in Germany but whose graves were never found, including men who drowned and whose bodies were not recovered. The cemetery also holds 676 non-war graves and 30 graves of service personnel of other nationalities, all maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
