Two graves recall the horrors of the (second) Munich Soviet Republic . The secretary Hella von Westarp (1887-1919, grave site 9-6-12) had the wrong employer - the Thule Society . She was shot in the hostage murder in Munich . The other tomb is called the journeyman's grave (51-1). It is reminiscent of 22 young men, members of the Catholic gesellenverein St. Joseph, who had been drinking in May 1919 in their clubhouse and then the still valid curfew had not considered. They were picked up by a Berlin regiment and mistaken for Spartakists . The journeymen did not succeed in clearing up the situation, which should also have been due to communication problems between the Bavarians and the Prussians. They were all shot.
