Friedhof Perlach, Cemetery and architectural heritage monument in Perlach district, Munich, Germany.
Friedhof Perlach is a municipal cemetery opened around 1900 at the border of Perlach and Neuperlach. It is bounded by Putzbrunner Straße to the south, Hans-Fried-Weg to the west and Schumacherring to the north, with multi-storey residential blocks along its eastern edge. The grounds hold the graves of actor Willy Harlander, musician Paul Würges, footballer Max Link, Martin Panzelt and cabaret artist Jürgen Scheller.
The cemetery opened in 1900 as Munich expanded rapidly and required new burial grounds for its growing population. Its establishment reflects the urban growth taking place across Bavaria during that period.
Grave plots here are reserved for people who can prove at least 20 years of residence in Perlach or in the district sub-areas numbered 16.31 to 16.55, which ties the cemetery closely to the local community. Among the burials are actor Willy Harlander (1931–2000), musician Paul Würges (1932–2017), footballer Max Link (1928–2018), Martin Panzelt (1825–1912) and cabaret artist Jürgen Scheller (1922–1996).
The cemetery is bounded by Putzbrunner Straße to the south, Hans-Fried-Weg to the west and Schumacherring to the north, with apartment blocks along its eastern edge. Opening hours follow the seasons: 8:00–18:00 in March, 8:00–20:00 from April to August, 8:00–19:00 in September and October, and 8:00–17:00 from November to February.
A grave plot here requires proof of at least 20 years' residence in Perlach or in one of the listed city districts (16.31 to 16.55), a rule that sets this municipal cemetery apart from others in Munich.
