Südfriedhof, Cemetery in Sachsenhausen district, Frankfurt, Germany

Südfriedhof is a 13-hectare park cemetery in Sachsenhausen, Frankfurt, designed partly as an English landscape garden. Its Florentine Baroque funeral hall, designed by city inspector Koch and built in 1896, was largely destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in 1950. The grounds hold about 13,000 graves, including those of German and French soldiers from the 1870/71 war and both World Wars.

The council decided in 1864 to lay out a new cemetery outside Sachsenhausen's gates, and it opened in 1868, replacing the old churchyard by the Elisabethkapelle that had been in use since 1508 and had become too small and a traffic obstacle. The grounds were designed as a park cemetery partly modelled on an English landscape garden. The mourning hall, designed by city inspector Koch, followed only in 1896.

The cemetery holds the graves of German and French soldiers killed in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, along with dead of both World Wars and civilian victims of the air raids on Frankfurt. The war graves and the entrance building are protected monuments. Among the burials are figures such as footballer Bernd Hölzenbein and Jesuit social philosopher Oswald von Nell-Breuning.

The cemetery covers 13 hectares in southern Sachsenhausen, bordered to the east by Darmstädter Landstraße, with the Sachsenhäuser Warte just to the south. It lies directly under the approach path of Frankfurt Airport, so aircraft pass low overhead. The main entrance building and many graves are protected monuments, and the grounds are laid out as a park cemetery modelled in part on an English landscape garden.

The mourning hall was designed by the city inspector Koch in Florentine Baroque style, but built only in 1896, decades after the cemetery opened; its interior was decorated by history painter Leopold Bode. Largely destroyed in the Second World War, it was rebuilt in 1950.
