description

In addition to around 27,000 grave sites, there are two groves of honor for concentration camp victims in the cemetery. There are war graves of Polish soldiers from the NSZ and a field with graves of so-called displaced persons from the post-war period, including many former forced laborers.

1129 dead from twelve nations are buried in the grave complex for the displaced persons. There is a memorial created in 1960 by the Munich sculptor Konstantin Frick.

history

The cemetery was planned by the then town planning officer Hermann Leitenstorfer and opened for burials in 1931. During the Nazi regime , those executed from the Stadelheim prison , which is adjacent to the cemetery, were also buried in the cemetery. The grave complex for the displaced persons was laid out in 1960. For this purpose, former forced laborers buried in other Munich cemeteries were reburied.
