About this cemetery
The Bergfriedhof is a municipal cemetery in Oberschönau, part of Schönau am Königssee, laid out in 1948 and now holding about 4,500 graves. It is run by the Friedhofsverband Berchtesgaden, an association of the surrounding municipalities, and is the third and newest of the cemeteries serving citizens of Berchtesgaden and neighbouring communities. It was created on the grounds of the former Schloss Lustheim, and the graves of Paula Hitler and Magda Schneider are located there.
