Zentralfriedhof, Public cemetery in Erlangen, Germany.
The cemetery extends over 60,000 square meters and contains 9,000 graves, making it the primary burial ground in the Middle Franconian city of Erlangen.
In 1919, Russian prisoners of war installed a two-meter granite memorial stone with Cyrillic inscriptions to honor their companions who died in the Erlangen camp.
The cemetery integrates architectural elements from 1895, including a sandstone round-arched gate and a mortuary chapel with columned arcades on its western side.
Located at Äußere Brucker Straße 53, the cemetery sits one kilometer southwest of Erlangen's center and features a flower shop near the main entrance.
The grounds house the remains of Friedrich-Alexander University professors and former Erlangen mayors, including Michael Poeschke and Friedrich Sponsel.
