Alter Friedhof Harburg, Historical cemetery and park in Harburg, Germany

Alter Friedhof Harburg is a cemetery and park-like burial ground situated on a slope south of St. Johannes Church along Bremer Street. The property links the inner city area to Harburg City Park through its hillside location and green layout.

The burial ground was established in 1828 to replace an older cemetery located between Sand and Schlossmühlendamm streets. It ceased accepting new burials after 1937, though scattered interments continued until 1967.

The name Krummholzberg refers to the hill where the cemetery was laid out. Many graves belong to Harburg notables: mayors August Grumbrecht and Heinrich David Denicke, industrialists Ernst Eger and Johann Friedrich Thörl, and brewery owner Wilhelm Hastedt. Look for the so-called Echo graves set into the slopes, richly decorated tombs reserved for the town's dignitaries and industrialists.

The grounds lie on a hill south of St. Johannis Church, bordered by Bremer Straße to the west, Maretstraße and the Phoenixviertel to the east, and Baererstraße to the south. A footpath at the southern end crosses a bridge into Harburg City Park, linking the inner city with the park. The site has been a protected monument since 1984, and a volunteer association has carried out maintenance since 2006.

In the centre stands an ornate war memorial to the "77ers", soldiers of the 2nd Hanoverian Infantry Regiment No. 77 stationed in Harburg. Nearby lie soldier graves from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 and the First World War, and some plots were cut into the slopes as so-called Echo graves for Harburg notables and industrialists.
