Waldfriedhof, Historical cemetery in Memmingen, Germany
The cemetery extends over 14.5 hectares with 7700 burial sites, divided into 30 large parcels amid dense tree coverage and winding paths.
Hans Grässel designed the cemetery in 1914, which opened in 1920 after delays caused by World War I and replaced older burial grounds near churches.
The grounds include memorial sites from the 1920s, featuring six military cemeteries and monuments dedicated to soldiers and forced laborers from World War I and II.
The cemetery administration building and memorial hall, constructed in 1959 by architect Hubert Kiebler, are located in the western section of the grounds.
A concrete and barbed wire art installation by sculptor Johannes Ahne stands as a World War II memorial, while notable citizens like artist Adolf Daumiller rest here.
