Map and orientation at Pentenried Cemetery

What area does the map show?

Pentenried cemetery administration: contact and responsibilities

Who answers questions about graves and work at the site?

The Municipality of Krailling’s cemetery office is responsible. It can be reached on +49 89 85706-102. Published office hours are 08:00–12:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, as well as by appointment.

Before commercial maintenance, changes to planting or work on an edging or memorial, check the rules and permits that apply to the particular grave.

History and layout of Pentenried Cemetery

How do the two sections differ?

Thuja hedges frame the graves more strongly in the older section. The newer section has a more open character, with lawns and hornbeam hedges. Large pine trees form a prominent centre to the cemetery as a whole.

How does St Benedikt help with orientation?

St Benedikt church on Kirchenweg was built in 1958 and is a clear landmark in the immediate area. The map marker on this page, however, identifies the cemetery rather than the church building.

Grave care at Pentenried Cemetery

What details avoid follow-up questions?

A request should state “Pentenried Cemetery”, the name of the person buried there, the grave number or section and, where possible, whether the grave is in the older or newer area. If the position is unclear, settle it with the administration or existing grave documents before the first visit.
