Hauptfriedhof Würzburg

The Hauptfriedhof extends across landscaped grounds featuring pathways, family vaults, elaborate tombstones, and sculptures that demonstrate local artistic craftsmanship through different periods.

The cemetery was established in the early 19th century outside the city walls to accommodate the growing population, replacing previous churchyard burial grounds.

The grounds contain memorials, monuments, and mausoleums that reflect the artistic styles and burial practices of Würzburg's citizens over two centuries.

Located at Martin-Luther-Straße 18a, the cemetery maintains approximately 20,000 graves and includes the Monopteros structure and Friedhofskapelle chapel within its grounds.

The cemetery serves as a final resting place for military officers, educators, and politicians who shaped Bavaria's development through their contributions.
