Alter Friedhof Berchtesgaden, Historic cemetery in Berchtesgaden, Germany.

The Alter Friedhof Berchtesgaden features numerous large trees and elaborate tombstones spread across its grounds next to the Franciscan Church.

Established in 1685, the cemetery contains gravestones from the 19th and early 20th centuries, with cemetery wall slabs dating back to the 17th century.

The cemetery holds graves of notable residents including Anton Adner, who lived to 117 years, and alpinist Toni Kurz of Eiger North Face fame.

Located between AlpenCongress center and the pedestrian zone, the cemetery maintains specific visiting rules, including the prohibition of dogs on the grounds.

In March 2020, the German UNESCO commission recognized the cemetery by including it in the nationwide directory of intangible cultural heritage.
