Neuer israelitischer Friedhof München, Jewish cemetery in Freimann, Germany.

The Neuer Israelitischer Friedhof Munich is a 5-hectare site with different burial areas, ceremonial halls, and a network of pathways. The landscape combines maintained garden sections with wooded areas where thousands of graves are located.

The cemetery was planned from 1904 by Hans Grässel and opened in 1908 after the Old Jewish Cemetery closed. From 1923 the Protestant couple Karl and Katharina Schörghofer managed it and hid gravestones, ritual objects and seven Jews; two were deported, five escaped. After years of neglect and use for vegetable growing, it was renovated in the late 1940s and again from 1989.

Men and married women are expected to cover their heads on the grounds, as at Jewish cemeteries generally. The cemetery also holds memorials to Munich Jews persecuted under the Nazi dictatorship from 1933 to 1945 and to the fallen of the First World War. Among the graves are those of Kurt Landauer, posthumous honorary president of FC Bayern Munich, and the singer Abi Ofarim.

The cemetery lies in the Alte Heide-Hirschau district of Schwabing-Freimann, with its main entrance on the east side, where the square gatehouse stands. Men and married women are expected to cover their heads on the grounds. The site is enclosed by a wall about 2.5 meters high.

The cemetery was laid out as a woodland cemetery (Waldfriedhof) by Hans Grässel, with a wall about 2.5 metres high around its more than five hectares. During the Nazi period the Protestant couple Karl and Katharina Schörghofer lived on site as caretakers and hid gravestones, ritual objects and seven Jews; two were deported, five escaped. Yad Vashem honours the couple and their children as Righteous Among the Nations.
