Friedhof Ewiger Frieden, Protected cemetery in Herford, Germany.

The cemetery extends 900 meters between Mindener Strasse and Eimterstrasse, featuring six sections divided by forest areas and grasslands with a central cross.

Established in 1924 due to capacity limitations at the municipal cemetery, the grounds include multiple war graves for German soldiers and international forced laborers.

The cemetery incorporates specific burial areas for different religious communities, including an Alevi section established in 2018 and a Yazidi field added in 2019.

The facility provides multiple burial options including standard plots, row graves, lawn sections, urn chambers, forest burials, and designated areas for Islamic internments.

The grounds contain four municipal war graves, including a mass grave for 35 Polish forced laborers who perished during an Allied air raid in January 1945.
