Map and distinction from the municipal cemetery

What does the map show?

The location marker shows where the cemetery is at St John. The name of the person buried there and any available grave reference help when locating a grave.

Which of Breitbrunn’s two cemeteries is this?

This page covers the Old Cemetery on Kirchstraße. The municipal Breitbrunn Cemetery is separate and has the address Am Königsberg 8. Grave-care requests should therefore use more than the general name “Breitbrunn Cemetery”.
