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

Description

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.

History

The cemetery was designed by architect Hans Grässel and opened in 1908 to serve Munich's growing Jewish community. After wartime destruction, restoration work extended over several decades.

Culture

The cemetery reflects Jewish burial traditions in its layout, with separate sections for different families and generations. Visitors notice the simple elegance of the gravestones and the organization of pathways that express a religious understanding of rest and dignity.

Practical

The cemetery is located in the Freimann district and is accessible to visitors during opening hours. The grounds have multiple entrances and parking areas for convenient visiting.
