history
The first written mention of the Winthir cemetery dates back to 1315. The Gothic church was built at the end of the 15th century and is still part of the choir today. In 1597 Winthir's grave was integrated into the church. Since then the church has been popularly known as "Winthirkircherl". Matthäus Rader describes Winthir and his story in detail in the Bavaria Sancta from 1614.
In 1882 Neuhausen became an independent parish and "Maria Himmelfahrt", as the church was called at that time, became the local church. Today's Westfriedhof (Munich) was built in 1897 because the old village cemetery had become too small. The eastern part of the Winthirfriedhof was abandoned during this period. The remains of this area were excavated in 2014 in advance of construction work.
Today, people who have rendered outstanding services to the state capital Munich are buried there.
