Südstadt - a relatively young part of Heidelberg

The Südstadt is a relatively young district. It was created after the Second World War from the expansion of the Weststadt to the south and the Rohrbach district to the north and today (excluding US military personnel) has around 4,000 inhabitants. The Südstadt is the third smallest district of Heidelberg after Bahnstadt and Schlierbach .

The Südstadt is divided into three areas:

East of Rohrbacher Straße (Südstadt-Ost): development with single-family houses and villas on the lower mountain slope.
West of Rohrbacher Straße (Südstadt-West): Development primarily with single and smaller multi-family houses, especially in the north and along the west side of Rohrbacher Straße also with larger 3 to 6-storey multi-family houses.
In the west: The Central Europe headquarters of the NATO land forces in the Campbell Barracks and the surrounding residential areas, especially for members of the US armed forces ( Mark-Twain-Village ).

The areas used by the US armed forces and NATO, including the Mark-Twain-Village, take up about a third of the southern part of the city and clearly shape it. In the area of South City is located southwest of Campbell Barracks small commercial area Bosseldorn west in the rest of the land used by the military are allotment facilities and sports facilities in the so-called "Kirchheimer hole" between several railway installations.

The southern part of the city also includes the mountain cemetery from 1842, where numerous famous Heidelberg personalities are buried. The tombs of Johann Heinrich Voss , Friedrich Ebert , Robert Bunsen and Wilhelm Furtwängler can be found in the park-like complex .

The southern part of the city is bordered by railway lines to the north and west. In the east, the border to the old town (Königstuhl district) is oriented along some hiking trails on the southwestern foothills of the Königstuhl. Since Rohrbach was incorporated into Heidelberg in 1929, the border to Rohrbach in the south has been Sickingenstrasse; before 1929 the border between Heidelberg and Rohrbach was about 200 meters north - along Saarstrasse and the Markscheide, the name of which still refers to the old border location.

More pictures	Mountain cemetery with cemetery chapel, mortuary, crematorium and grave sites as well as a Jewish cemetery	Steigerweg 20	1842-1844	It was created outside the city gates in the former Wingert Eisengrein on the western foothills of the Gaisberg as a non-denominational cemetery. Following the example of English landscape gardens, Johann Christian Metzger designed a system adapted to the topography with a curved network of paths, organically delineated grave fields and botanically selected trees and borders. The distinctive park character was retained during the extensions in 1858, 1868, 1889 and 1927–1931. The cemetery chapel, located in front of a steep hill on the ridge, was built in 1842 according to the designs of the Heidelberg city architect Heinrich Greif. Pilasters and pilaster strips made of red sandstone structure the walls of the building. Window reveals and cornices are also made of red sandstone. Parts of the structure are clinkered. The belfry on the roof of the chapel is a wooden structure. The portal of the chapel is provided with multi-leaf, glass-pierced oak doors and protected by a canopy made of wrought iron and glass. Towards the mountain, attached to the back wall of the chapel, there are utility rooms and ancillary rooms of the chapel and, in a transverse axis, the morgue with its individual chambers lined up. The cemetery chapel and in particular its important ancillary areas have been partially rebuilt and expanded over the course of time and their economic efficiency has been repeatedly adapted to the latest technical standards. In 1891 the newly built crematorium went into operation at the Bergfriedhof , the second oldest in Germany after the Gotha crematorium . In the years 1990/91 it was completely modernized. The cremations are carried out in state-of-the-art electric ovens. In 2000, a new emission-reducing filter system was installed. The Jewish cemetery with its historically significant tombs is documented to this day. For a number of years now, tombs that are important in terms of art history and are worthy of preservation have been re-occupied as part of a monument protection concept. By adopting a grave sponsorship, interested parties acquire a right of occupancy. Because the construction times of the tombs that are still used in this way extend over the long period of around 150 years since the opening of the cemetery complex, each of the sponsored graves is unique. The many personalities who have found their final resting place in the Heidelberg Bergfriedhof include the Reich President Friedrich Ebert , the conductor and composer Wilhelm Furtwängler , the poet and literary scholar Friedrich Gundolf , the chemists and researchers Robert Bunsen and Carl Bosch , the surgeon and cancer researcher Vincenz Czerny , the astronomer Max Wolf , the anthropologist and prehistoric Otto Schoetensack , the poet and translator Johann Heinrich Voss , the theologian Martin Dibelius , the inventor Felix Wankel , the legal philosopher Gustav Radbruch , the constitutional and international lawyer Georg Jellinek , the legal scientist Oskar von Bülow , the sociologist Max Weber , the priest Alfons Beil , the poet Hilde Domin , the architect, Nazi armaments minister and convicted war criminal Albert Speer and many others.
