There are multiple cemeteries in the Bavarian city of Regensburg. Two of the Catholic cemeteries are named after their location within the city.
This is the one in the lower part of the city, therefore named:
Unterer Katholischer Friedhof Regensburg
another one is located in the higher, or upper part of the city, named:
Oberer Katholischer Friedhof Regensburg

It dates back a few hundred years and has the size of about 9 acres.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it.
