About this cemetery
The Waldfriedhof is the largest and oldest cemetery in Munich, laid out between 1905 and 1907 to a new concept by Hans Grässel as a near-natural cemetery. It is one of 29 cemeteries in the city and has several burial sections, chapels and memorial stones. The newer part holds 28,350 graves, a lake and a Jewish cemetery, and many well-known people are buried there.
