Cemetery map and orientation

Are the old, new, hill and forest cemeteries separate sites?

No. These names describe areas within the same physical cemetery on Friedensweg. For directions and page assignment, they are therefore grouped together as Feldafing Cemetery.

How can a grave be located?

A precise search requires the name of the person buried there, the area and the grave number. If the grave number is missing, the municipality is the authoritative point of contact.

Which questions should be clarified in advance?

History and distinctive features

Since when has Gallerberg been used as a cemetery?

The site has been used as a burial ground since about 1880, replacing the cemetery at the old parish church of St. Peter and Paul after it became too small. Distinctive elements include protected grave monuments with figurative decoration dating from about 1910 to 1920 and the large iron cemetery cross.

Which notable graves are near the large cross?

The municipality identifies the graves of architect Anton Hatzl and Kammersänger Heinrich Knote there.

Grave care at Feldafing Cemetery

What belongs in a grave-care enquiry?

Provide the cemetery name, area, grave number, name of the person buried there and requested scope of care. Commercial work requires municipal approval, so its scope and timing should be coordinated before work begins.
