Eichholzfriedhof, Cemetery and architectural heritage monument in Arnsberg, Germany.

Eichholzfriedhof is a historic cemetery in Arnsberg, laid out from 1807 behind the former monastery gardens near the Eichholz woods. Its graves range from early classical headstones to neo-Gothic and historicist monuments around 1900, among them the Seibertz tomb with an owl perched on a book and the von Schenk family vault.

The cemetery was laid out in 1807, when the parish bought a plot of about 2,400 m² near the Eichholz woods for 100 Reichstaler and spent another 90 Taler on its establishment, after the authorities ordered burials moved away from Stift Wedinghausen. It served the whole parish, including Glösingen, Uentrop, Breitenbruch and Rumbeck, until the parish was dissolved in 1859. It was closed after the Waldfriedhof opened in the early 1950s.

The monuments display a mix of architectural styles, from early classical designs to later Gothic influences in gravestone craftsmanship. This variety shows how memorial traditions and tastes changed over the generations.

The cemetery lies behind the former monastery gardens near the Eichholz woods, and the path to it was straightened in 1822. Public guided tours are held regularly, run by a volunteer project that has studied the graves since autumn 2012. Plans exist to link the grounds by path to the Bürgergärten and their historic garden houses.

Since autumn 2012, a volunteer project has researched and cared for the grave monuments, and regular public guided tours are held. The whole cemetery has been under monument protection since 2015, covering 32 graves, the chapel, a 14-station Way of the Cross and the war memorial.
