Friedhof Ewiger Frieden, Protected cemetery in Herford, Germany.

Friedhof Ewiger Frieden is a protected burial ground in Herford spanning approximately 900 meters between two main streets. The grounds consist of six sections separated by forest areas and grass fields, with a central cross marking the center.

The grounds were established in 1924 to address capacity issues at the municipal cemetery. Today, several war graves commemorate German soldiers and international forced laborers who died during the Second World War.

Since May 2018 the cemetery has held Germany's third Alevi grave field, with space for 70 graves; a Yazidi field with 84 graves followed on 15 June 2019. There is also an Islamic grave field laid out in rows, alongside a field for stillborn and miscarried children and a burial forest where ashes are interred.

The cemetery lies in the Neustädter Feldmark and runs about 900 metres between Mindener Straße and Eimterstraße; avenues from both streets meet at the large high cross at the centre. The six sections are partly divided by woodland and meadow, so allow time to walk between them. The chapel, built in 1955, stands on the grounds.

The cemetery holds four municipal war grave sites. Besides the mass grave of 35 Polish forced labourers killed in the Allied air raid of 27 January 1945, there is a communal grave of Russian prisoners of war and individual graves of 58 forced labourers of various nationalities who died in Herford between 1941 and 1945.
