Facts and practical information

Heidelberg Mountain Cemetery is one of the 17 cemeteries in the city of Heidelberg. Opened in 1844, Bergfriedhof was the city's first cemetery run under municipal management. It is located in the south of Heidelberg on a former vineyard site rising to the east at the north end of the Südstadt district; it borders the Weststadt and the Gaisberg. The cemetery is interdenominational, and part of the grounds are also designated as a Jewish cemetery. On a terrain terrace southeast above the Bergfriedhof, the Heidelberg Cemetery of Honor was established from 1933 to 1935.
