When is Söcking Cemetery open?

The town publishes seasonal access hours: 08:00 to 17:00 from 1 October to 31 March and 08:00 to 18:00 from 1 April to 30 September. Allow enough time to return to the gate when visiting near closing time.

Which facilities appear on the official plan?

The plan identifies the main entrance on Friedhofstraße, two further entrances, the funeral hall, a toilet, the columbarium wall and the organised burial sections.

The official Town of Starnberg overview plan (PDF) contains the section layout and the two honorary graves identified there.

What information helps when looking for a grave?

The person’s name, section and grave number are the most useful details. If only a name is known, ask the cemetery administration before relying on the honorary-grave markings on the overview plan.

Honorary graves, history and cemetery administration

Which honorary graves are marked on the official plan?

The municipal plan marks honorary graves for Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsäcker and Karl Hindelang. In Weizsäcker’s case, this is not his actual burial place: his grave is at Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. The Söcking designation should therefore be understood as an honour or memorial.

Who administers the cemetery?

The Town of Starnberg cemetery administration at Vogelanger 2, 82319 Starnberg is responsible. Its published telephone number is +49 8151 772-106 for binding information about graves, burials and commercial work.

Grave care at Söcking Cemetery

What should a grave-care request include?

Provide the full name Söcking Cemetery, the name of the person buried there and, wherever possible, the section and grave number. That precise identification avoids confusion with St Stephan and makes it easier to plan seasonal planting, ongoing care or a single visit.
