Friedhof Riem, Cemetery and architectural heritage monument in Riem district, Munich, Germany.

Friedhof Riem is a cemetery in Munich's Riem district, split by the street Am Mitterfeld: the old part lies to the east, the new part to the west. The new section, built in 1999 and 2000, consists of four irregular, raised quadrilaterals separated by walls and embankments, with graves set slightly above the surrounding lawns. A concrete tower called Aussichtssteg stands at its north end.

The old section lies east of Am Mitterfeld; the new section west of it was built in 1999 and 2000. Its four raised, irregular grave fields were designed with graves set slightly above the paths. The concrete, rubble-stone and wood funeral hall by Andreas Meck and Stephan Köppel, opposite the old cemetery's main entrance, won the BDA-Preis Bayern in 2001. In October 2023 the "Scholle drei" extension added 950 grave plots.

The gravestones and memorials here tell personal stories of people from the local area. Walking through, you notice how families honor their loved ones and which traditions have developed over time.

The old section lies east of Am Mitterfeld, the new section west of it, bounded by Am Hüllgraben to the north, Leonhardiweg to the west and Linnenbrüggerstraße to the south. The new part is raised above its surroundings, with graves set slightly above the surrounding lawns, so paths and grave fields sit at different levels. The concrete tower at the north end, called Aussichtssteg, is visible from the motorway and serves as a landmark for orientation.

The site functions as both an active cemetery and a protected monument with requirements for both roles. This double function makes it a rare place where remembrance and heritage preservation happen together daily.
