Südfriedhof, Kiel — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Südfriedhof?

A church, a hall, a factory. Heilandskirche serves the parish, the Felsenhalle gives the quarter a hall under its own name, and the Margarinefabrik Seibel keeps a factory name on the district's roll of landmarks. None of them is grand.

Together they mark a working quarter of Kiel that stands apart from the older core around Altstadt.

What is the history of Südfriedhof?

Kiel's archive keeps only a handful of facts here. What survives of Südfriedhof's past is written into its landmarks, the Heilandskirche for the parish, the Felsenhalle for the hall that carries the name, and the Margarinefabrik Seibel for the trade that named the works. Nothing dates the founding.

Kiel absorbed the ground into its municipal quarters, and the district shares its boundaries with Vorstadt, Schreventeich and Gaarden in Schleswig-Holstein.

Where is Südfriedhof?

Südfriedhof spreads over three square kilometres of Kiel, its edges meeting Vorstadt, Schreventeich, Damperhof and Gaarden.
