Overview

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 honor, some to rise and fall, some to love and passion.

Discover this cultural-historical open-air museum during an exclusive guided tour, just for your group. Whether with family, friends or in a team – experience this unique overall work of art from architecture, sculpture and garden art together. Your guide will take you on an entertaining journey through Leipzig history.

Best Tour in Leipzig

Highly recommended tour. Our guide told with a lot of passion and humor. You learn things about Leipzig’s city history that you hardly learn otherwise. The property itself is breathtakingly beautiful, especially now in spring. Even without a guide you could walk around here for hours. For us, the tour was one of the most beautiful experiences of our Leipzig visit.

Relaxed and fun guided tour...

Something completely different!

We were skeptical, but this tour really convinced us. Among all the trees you feel like you are in an enchanted park - and there is so much to discover! The guide was funny, charming and knew an answer to every question. We liked it!

What a discovery! The Leipzig Südfriedhof is really more than just a cemetery. The park-like complex is simply beautiful. Our guide took great care of us and brought the history of this place to life. Highly recommended.
