About this cemetery
The Ostfriedhof in the Obergiesing district of Munich was laid out in 1821 and is still in use. It is one of the city's large non-denominational cemeteries, covering about 34 hectares with some 35,000 grave sites. After several extensions and the closure of the burial ground on Gietlstrasse in 1876, it also became the burial ground of Giesing. Features include a domed hall and a cascade with two fountains.
