Military Cemetery
Tartu's military cemetery opened on 9 June 1924, and its first famous burial came that December: the cadet Aleksander Teder, killed defending the republic during the communist coup attempt of 1 December 1924. In 1926 a memorial to the liberators of South Estonia in the War of Independence was raised here; it was demolished in the late 1940s, while Soviet servicemen stationed in Tartu were buried around it. In 1987 there were plans to turn the cemetery into a park. Instead the old memorial was rebuilt in 1988–1991 using pieces that had been hidden in the ground. Look for the protected Douglas-fir avenue.

Tartu sõjaväekalmistu avati 9. juunil 1924 ja selle esimene kuulus matus oli sama aasta detsembris: kadett Aleksander Teder, kes langes vabariiki kaitstes 1. detsembri riigipöördekatse ajal. 1926. aastal püstitati siia Vabadussõja mälestusmärk Lõuna-Eesti vabastajatele; see lammutati 1940. aastate lõpus, samal ajal kui ümberringi maeti Tartus teeninud Nõukogude sõjaväelasi. 1987. aastal kavatseti kalmistu pargiks muuta. Selle asemel taastati vana mälestusmärk aastatel 1988–1991 maasse peidetud osade abil. Tasub vaadata ka looduskaitse all olevat ebatsuugaalleed.
