Mittenwald cemetery
The Mittenwald cemetery is located in the Upper Bavarian market town of Mittenwald in Werdenfelser Land and was laid out from 1836 around the former rafting church of St. Nikolaus . It is located on the northeastern edge of the center of Mittenwald.
The first dead were buried at the Nikolauskirche between 1738 and 1748, when the new parish church building made burials impossible there. In 1836 the old parish cemetery around St. Peter and Paul was abandoned and moved to the Flößerkirche. Extensions to the cemetery took place in the 1950s and mid-1980s.
There are several graves of prominent citizens in the cemetery: Matthias Klotz (1653–1743, founder of Mittenwald violin making), Franz Karner (1738–1817, Lüftlmaler). One of the artistic graves worth seeing is the communal grave of the Kgl in the middle of the cemetery. Post holder and brewery owner family Neuner in the style of a neo-Gothic pinnacle with a figure of Antonius.
In the northeast corner of the cemetery is the morgue with attached and adjacent outbuildings, the style of which date from the period between the 1st and 2nd World War. According to a municipal council resolution of October 2015, which the mayor slightly corrected on June 14, 2016, complete grave covers with stone slabs may only be carried out outside the historical core.
