Waldfriedhof, Cemetery in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany.

Waldfriedhof is a burial ground in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe covering about 8.6 hectares within forest setting and featuring paths throughout its layout. The grounds contain several burial sections, including a memorial field with a chapel and bronze shrine for war casualties.

The cemetery was established between 1920 and 1922 as a municipal burial ground, with 19 soldiers from World War I who died in local hospitals among its first burials. The grounds were later expanded to include memorial sections honoring victims of subsequent conflicts.

The cemetery shapes how visitors experience remembrance and loss, with its layout encouraging people to walk slowly and pause at different sections. The various burial areas show how different generations and life stories have found a place here.

The cemetery is accessible by foot through a well-developed path network designed to be easy to navigate. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the paths run through wooded terrain, especially during wet weather.

An approximately 500-year-old oak tree, protected as a natural monument, marks a special point within the grounds and is crossed by a stone bridge over a stream. This ancient tree is one of the most striking natural features of the site and regularly catches visitors' attention.
