Westfriedhof, Cemetery in Munich, Germany
Westfriedhof is a cemetery in Munich featuring wide avenues lined with stone monuments and grave sites across its grounds. The layout was designed according to architectural principles that create distinct pathways and sections throughout the space.
The cemetery was established in 1898 and expanded until 1902 according to designs by architect Hans Grässel. Its graves reflect events from the period of the Bavarian Soviet Republic.
Notable figures interred at Westfriedhof include singer Alexandra, journalist Robert Lembke, and Princess Soraya, former wife of the Shah of Iran.
The main entrance is located at Baldurstraße 28, providing access to the full grounds. Visitors should expect walking paths that lead between different sections and require exploration on foot.
The grounds contain a memorial dedicated to young men who were executed during historical events. This memorial site serves as a place of remembrance for difficult moments from recent history.
