Solln cemetery
The Solln Cemetery is a cemetery in the Solln district of Munich .
location
The cemetery is on Friedhofweg 1, not far from the Catholic parish church of St. Johann Baptist to the south . It has an area of 0.37 hectares and about 420 graves.
history
The cemetery was laid out from 1879 to 1883 after the village cemetery around the old Sollner church, which no longer exists, had become too small. In 1936 the Solln cemetery was too small for the community of Solln and a new cemetery was created in the Warnberg district , the Solln forest cemetery . In 1938, Solln was incorporated into Munich.
The Solln cemetery is still used for burials today, provided that old graves are vacated. It is not constantly manned and, like the Solln forest cemetery, is co-managed by the old part of the Munich forest cemetery .
Building
The neo-Romanesque cemetery building was built by Johann Grimm in 1879/80. The small, rectangular cemetery is enclosed by a wall. In the middle there is a path from the cemetery building to a wooden crucifix. On its sides there are simple, closely spaced graves.
There are grave monuments from the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the cemetery. At the entrance to the cemetery there is a memorial plaque attached to the cemetery building for the sculptor August Drumm with a bronze relief depicting the head of Christ and created by the artist himself in 1902. Drumm had his grave in the Solln cemetery, which has since been closed.
