Nordfriedhof (Leipzig)

The Nordfriedhof ("North Cemetery") is a public cemetery run by the city of Leipzig, located at Berliner Straße 125–127 in the district of Eutritzsch between Hamburger Straße, Theresienstraße and Maximilianallee, directly adjoining the smaller Old Jewish Burial Ground ("Alter Israelitischer Friedhof").

Otto Brückwald constructed a complex based on Italian models with leafy wooden arcades connecting the chapel, the mortuary and the administrative buildings.

The grounds were landscaped by Otto Wittenberg [de] in the traditional style, with regular and strongly symmetrical fields of graves.

Further notable individuals buried here are Ernst Arthur Seemann, founder of the publishing house E. A. Seemann,[a] the book publisher and dealer Carl Christian Philipp Tauchnitz, the urologist Arthur Kollmann, and Ernst Pinkert [de], founder of Leipzig Zoo.

After a mass grave of the fallen of the battle was discovered in 1892 in the Eutritzscher Straße, the Leipzig Historical Union commissioned a gravestone from the architect Franz Drechsler.
