Katholischer Hermanfriedhof

The cemetery spans 4.5 hectares with 10,000 burial sites and contains more than 200 trees creating a park setting in central Augsburg.

The Catholic cemetery originated in 1599 when Catholics received permission from Augsburg magistrates, leading to land purchases totaling 1,900 Florins.

St. Michael's Church within the cemetery features an oval layout, ceiling frescoes depicting the Last Judgment, and artworks by Johann Matthias Kager.

The administration actively supports volunteer photographers to document gravestones and sends notifications about new photography requests.

The cemetery includes specialized sections, with dedicated areas for religious order members and priests among its 16 burial fields.
