Parkfriedhof Eichhof, Park cemetery with heritage designation in Kronshagen, Germany.

The Parkfriedhof Eichhof is a cemetery in Kronshagen that combines traditional graves with landscaped green spaces. The grounds extend along Eichhofstraße and include open lawn areas as well as sections with mausoleums and memorial stones.

Kiel's population grew from 17,500 in 1860 to 243,000 in 1918, so after the Südfriedhof opened in 1869 filled up, the city chose Carl Mordhorst's Eichhof farm for a new cemetery. The first section was laid out from 1898 and consecrated on 5 July 1900; extensions followed in 1910–1912, 1913–1919, 1928–1930 and 1938–1939. The whole cemetery was entered in Schleswig-Holstein's monument register in 2003.

The St.-Jürgen tradition site by the chapel forecourt, consecrated on 12 June 1955, gathers 64 listed gravestones moved from the former St.-Jürgen cemetery near Kiel station. Among them is the shared grave of the writer Jens Baggesen and the philosopher Carl Leonhard Reinhold, reburied here on 23 June 1955 during Kieler Woche.

The grounds are accessible through several entrances along Eichhofstraße, though path conditions vary by area. Some sections allow wheelchair access, but not all parts of the cemetery are flat or easy to navigate.

The crematorium, built 1914–1916 to a design by Kiel architect Oskar Hoff, was considered the oldest in the Prussian Province of Schleswig-Holstein until 1937, when Lübeck's crematorium on the Vorwerker Friedhof was incorporated into the province. Hoff had previously built the crematorium in Kristiania (Oslo).
