Evangelischer Zentralfriedhof, Protestant cemetery in Regensburg, Germany.

The Evangelischer Zentralfriedhof is a Lutheran cemetery on the northern slope of the Galgenberg in Regensburg, between Friedensstraße and Bischof-Konrad-Straße. It is terraced into two roughly equal areas: a landscaped lower section and an upper section divided by buildings. A three-arched classical portal by German Bestelmeyer opens from the north, and the Neo-Renaissance mortuary and prayer hall stand on the plateau.

The cemetery opened on 2 November 1898, succeeding the older Lazarus and St. Peter's Protestant cemeteries near the former city wall. Part of the grounds was reserved as a municipal section for non-denominational burials, found corpses and couples of mixed faith. The first burial was Luise Hirschmann, wife of stonemason Gottfried Hirschmann, who helped design the cemetery.

The cemetery's name refers to its role as the central burial ground for all Protestant parishes of Regensburg, replacing the older Lazarus and St. Peter's cemeteries. The first burial was Luise Hirschmann, wife of the stonemason Gottfried Hirschmann, who helped design the grounds. The three-arched entrance bears the Isaiah 26:19 inscription "Your dead shall live".

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.

The cemetery's southern plateau holds a large bowl fountain of blue Kösseine granite from Wunsiedel; a special low-loader goods wagon had to be built to deliver it. Architect German Bestelmeyer placed it in 1898 to frame the planned Dörnberg mausoleum dome for visitors arriving from the north. The crucifix once standing there was moved further north despite citizens' objections.
