Founded in 1803, the Hauptfriedhof in Mainz is the city's largest cemetery, inspiring the design of Paris's famous Père-Lachaise. As a cultural heritage site in Rhineland-Palatinate, it houses not only graves of notable local figures but also memorials and war graves, including the German Ehrenhof. A quiet testament to its French administrative origins.
