Alter Nordfriedhof, Cemetery and architectural heritage monument in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany.

The Alter Nordfriedhof extends across rectangular grounds divided into 16 fields, featuring 30 arcaded vaults along the west wall and a central cross.

Architect Arnold Zenetti designed this burial ground in 1866 to accommodate Munich's expanding population, with the first interment occurring on October 5, 1868.

The cemetery grounds contain the final resting places of numerous Munich residents, including Max von Montgelas, Wilhelm Bauer, and Karl Maximilian von Bauernfeind.

The cemetery functions as both a memorial site and public park, remaining open throughout the day and night for visitors to explore its historical grounds.

After World War II, only 700 of the original 7,272 burial places remained, transforming the space into a green area with benches and walking paths.
