Friedhof Pasing, Cemetery in Pasing district, Munich, Germany.
Friedhof Pasing is a cemetery in western Munich with over 6,500 burial plots arranged in distinct sections connected by maintained pathways. The grounds accommodate both traditional ground burials and urn placements within a landscape featuring mature trees and open lawn areas.
The cemetery was laid out in 1903 by the municipality of Pasing, then still independent, on a rectangular plot; Pasing was incorporated into Munich in 1938, when responsibility for the cemetery passed to the Bavarian capital. The grounds cover 7.4 hectares and hold about 6,500 graves. Among those buried here are the writer Anna Croissant-Rust and Alois Ebenböck, a wax-factory owner and honorary citizen of Pasing.
The gravestones show different architectural styles from various periods, reflecting how burial traditions and ways of remembering the dead have changed over time. Walking through, you notice how these monuments tell stories about what mattered to Munich residents across generations.
The grounds are open to visitors daily with clearly marked pathways connecting the different burial plot sections. Allow time to walk the grounds and experience the quiet atmosphere of the space.
The Aussegnungshalle received an honourable mention at the Munich Facade Prize in 2006 for its renovation, which restored the sandstone columns in the bell tower's sound openings and the historic facade plaster. Among the graves are those of Alois Ebenböck, a wax-factory owner and honorary citizen of Pasing, and Karl Hromadnik, a paper-mill director.
