Eisenach Main Cemetery, Cultural heritage cemetery in Eisenach, Germany.

Eisenach Main Cemetery is a burial ground in the city featuring green lawns, tree-lined pathways, and numerous stone monuments from different periods. The grounds display a variety of grave markers that reflect different architectural styles and craftsmanship techniques.

Eisenach Main Cemetery was consecrated on 19 June 1868 to replace the Old Cemetery south of the old town, which had been laid out in the 16th century and was full. In 1896 Otto Sckell redesigned the grounds on garden-artistic principles. The historic graves and the chapel with the Eichel-Streiber family vault were placed under monument protection in 1993.

A Jewish section was laid out here from 1867, with its first burial on 31 March 1868; five rows of graves were made by 1916, and a newer section holds over eighty stones. Five memorial plots commemorate war and tyranny victims, including 321 people killed in the air raids on Eisenach.

The cemetery covers 118,119 m² on the southern slope of the Wartenberg, north of Eisenach's old town. Its paths follow a geometric, axially symmetrical layout, so the chapel with the crematorium sits at the centre as a fixed reference point. The Jewish section lies within the grounds; five grave complexes commemorate war and dictatorship victims, including 321 people killed in the air raids on Eisenach.

The grounds hold grave markers made with craftsmanship techniques from two centuries, ranging from traditional stone carving to modern inscription methods. This variety makes the cemetery an open archive of burial practices and local craft traditions.
