Alter Friedhof Berchtesgaden, Historic cemetery in Berchtesgaden, Germany.

Alter Friedhof Berchtesgaden is a historic cemetery situated next to the Franciscan Church with mature trees and ornately carved gravestones throughout the grounds. The site displays tombstones from the 19th and early 20th centuries as well as cemetery wall sections dating from the 17th century.

Berchtesgaden's first cemetery, recorded from 1359, stood around the parish church of St. Andreas and was closed in 1806. Space there ran short by 1685, so a new burial ground was laid out by the Franciscan church, whose tower bells rang at burials from the start. In 1837 Dean Forster donated part of the former court garden to enlarge it, and a mortuary hall followed in 1898/99. Burials stopped on 31 December 1972 and resumed in 1987.

Among the graves are those of long-established Berchtesgaden families and figures known beyond the town: Anton Adner, who reached 117, the painter Adalbert Waagen, made an honorary citizen in 1891, and ski racer Franz Pfnür, the first Olympic champion in alpine skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1936. The bells of the Franciscan church tower have rung at burials here since the cemetery opened.

The cemetery is located between the AlpenCongress center and the pedestrian zone, making it easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that dogs are not permitted on the grounds.

In July 2018 the cemetery made national headlines when 200 grave plots were raffled off and 300 people applied. The cemetery association, a joint body of Berchtesgaden, Bischofswiesen and Schönau am Königssee, maintains around 1,500 graves here and about 260 burials take place at its two cemeteries each year.
