Evangelischer Zentralfriedhof, Protestant cemetery in Regensburg, Germany.
The Evangelischer Zentralfriedhof is a burial site in Regensburg with three levels connected by a north-south axis. The grounds were designed in 1898 following the model of an English landscape park and contain about 30 memorials.
This site emerged as the first interdenominational burial place in Regensburg, allowing couples of different faiths to be buried side by side. This innovation marked a turning point in the city's burial practices.
The cemetery embodies Protestant values through its open design and how visitors spend time reflecting there. The arrangement of graves invites people to spend quiet moments and feel connected to nature.
The cemetery is located on Friedenstrasse and is easy to reach on foot, with plenty of space to walk between the different graves. Documentation on site helps visitors find information about many graves and memorials.
In 1913, this cemetery was the first in Regensburg to grant cremation burials the same status as traditional earth burials. This early recognition set the standard for modern practices that many burial sites follow today.
