Südfriedhof (Bonn)
The urban southern cemetery in Bonn is located between the present-day districts of Dottendorf and Friesdorf ; this used to be the southern outskirts of Bonn to the formerly independent city of Bad Godesberg . It is the second largest cemetery of the federal city and stands as a monument under monument protection .
The south cemetery was given its name in 1910 to delimit the north cemetery, initially known as the “new cemetery” . Both the cemetery itself and its infrastructure have expanded over the decades. It is limited to the east by the Bonn-Koblenz railway line and to the west by Servatiusstrasse, where the main entrance is located.
