In the shadow of the Battle of Nations Monument lies one of Germany's most impressive surface monuments : the Leipziger Südfriedhof. Already at the end of the 19th century a park-like cemetery complex with spectacular tombs was built here.

Between ancient trees and lush rhododendrons, there are not only imposing buildings, mausoleums and sculptures, but also the largest columbarium north of the Alps. Many tombs reflect the need for representation of the wealthy citizens of Leipzig, even beyond death. Some testify to fame and honour, some to rise and fall, some to war and misery.

Discover this cultural-historical open-air museum during an exclusive guided tour. Whether with family, friends or in a team – experience this unique total work of art from architecture, sculpture and garden art together in the middle of an idyllic parkland.

Tip : Not far from the South Cemetery is the famous Battle of Nations Monument.
