Origins and development

Grünwald residents have been able to be buried here since November 1927. The municipality lists an area of 105,476 square metres. The many film and cultural figures buried here also reflect Grünwald’s proximity to Bavaria Film Studios.

The cemetery was established in 1927. The cemetery is in Grünwald, at Tölzer Straße 43, 82031 Grünwald. Its area is approximately 10.55 hectares.

Design and present-day character

The woodland cemetery on Tölzer Straße covers more than ten hectares and is divided into sections. Overview maps stand at the entrances. The funeral hall, urn walls and graves of film and cultural figures provide distinct destinations.

Read this character description together with the development of Grünwald Woodland Cemetery: it identifies what gives the grounds their present identity without turning the cemetery into a purely historical attraction.
