Plan a cemetery walk
Old St John’s Cemetery currently has no precisely located named building, memorial or biographical point from which several visit subjects could be assembled. No sequence is therefore proposed.
A particular grave still requires its section, row and grave number; its position cannot be inferred from a general cemetery marker.
The map below is provided instead for arrival and practical orientation. It proposes neither sightseeing subjects nor a route.
Arrival and orientation
The visitor address is Johannisplatz / Täubchenweg, 04103 Leipzig.
- Cemetery entrance: The marker shows the position of the mapped object.
- Gutenbergplatz: The marker shows the position of the mapped object.
- Johannisplatz: The marker shows the position of the mapped object.
- Parking area: Marker for the mapped object area; not a surveyed entrance.
Johannisplatz tram stop; the grounds are directly beside the Grassi Museum.
The map includes 2 nearby parking areas. Observe local signs and access rules; this does not establish available spaces.
The address and directions page brings the travel information together. Entrances, public-transport stops and parking places support arrival; they are not presented as cultural or biographical subjects.
Infrastructure on the grounds
No precise toilet or water-point marker is included on this page.
Infrastructure markers indicate position only. If access to a facility is essential, ask City of Leipzig – Garden Heritage Conservation whether it will be available at the intended time.
Visiting framework
March–October 10:00–18:00; November–February 10:00–16:00. Observe temporary closures on site.
Use this information to choose when to visit and keep the relevant exit in mind. A particular grave cannot be inferred from the points above; obtain its section, row and grave number first.
Visit respectfully
