Friedhof am Perlacher Forst, Historic cemetery in Munich, Germany

The Perlacher Forst Cemetery spans 100 hectares with radial avenues lined by hedges and trees connecting to the neighboring forest.

The cemetery contains graves of resistance group White Rose members, including Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl, and Christoph Probst, executed in February 1943.

The cemetery houses memorial stones for forced laborers from multiple nations and includes sections dedicated to victims of the Dachau concentration camp.

The cemetery adjusts its visiting hours seasonally, opening at 8:00 AM and closing between 5:00 PM in winter months to 8:00 PM in summer.

Over 1,200 individuals executed at the adjacent Stadelheim prison between 1933 and 1945 found their final resting place in this cemetery.
