Winthirfriedhof

The Winthirfriedhof is a burial ground in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg located next to the church of the same name, with approximately 180 grave sites on a compact area. The grounds feel like a quiet refuge where old gravestones and fresh flowers coexist peacefully.

The site dates back to 1315, making it one of Munich's oldest burial grounds. The adjacent church received the tomb of Saint Winthir integrated into its structure during 1597.

The burial ground is closely connected to the adjacent church dedicated to Saint Winthir, which shapes the character of the place. Visitors can see how faith and community have been intertwined here across generations.

The cemetery is located in a quiet residential area accessible on foot or by public transport. Visitors should wear respectful attire and observe the opening hours of the grounds.

Archaeological excavations in 2014 uncovered the eastern portion of the original cemetery, which had lain abandoned for centuries. These discoveries provided insights into burial practices from earlier periods of Munich's history.
