The Alter Johannisfriedhof is the oldest burial ground in the city of Leipzig, Germany. It began in 1278, as part of the Johannishospital in Leipzig, a leper hospital. It was later attached to the Johanniskirche, which was destroyed in World War II. In 1536 it became the common burial ground for the city of Leipzig, and expanded several times. It was also re-modeled in the style of the Camposanto in Pisa, a popular style of cemetery in Germany. In 1680 and 1805 the graveyard was expanded by the additions of sections three and four respectively, then the fifth and the final extension took place between 1827 and 1863. 1883 saw its last burial.

The Floßplatz [ˈflɔsˌplat͡s] – pronounced "short O" [ɔ] in Leipzig – is the remnant of a larger historical complex that served for centuries to supply the city of Leipzig with firewood, but also with construction timber. It owes its name to its function as a municipal stacking and sales point for the timber rafted over the Elster and Pleiße. In its history, it was therefore sometimes called Holzplatz or Churfürstlicher Holzplatz.
