This is the only cemetery within the Waldthurn city limits. It is known only as the "Friedhof", which is German for cemetery. It does not have an assigned street number. 90 percent of the interment are Roman Catholic. Some Graves are family Graves with no information other than last name.

In Germany, graves are only rented for terms of 15-30 years. If another body is added to the grave, the clock resets. If the rental contract is not renewed, the remains are dug up and disposed of and the grave is reused.

In this particular cemetery, the grave sites are of people buried less than 50 years ago or so. For older Catholic burials where the remains have been disposed of, you have to write to the Katholische Pfarramt in Regensburg, Germany. The Waldthurn Catholic Church records go back only about 50 years.
