Neuer Südfriedhof Munich: A practical grave-search process using personal details, grave reference, official plan and administration contact.

The most useful search reference

Across a cemetery with approximately 9,800 burial plots, use the section, row and grave number together. Names can recur, and an approximate route description is not a substitute for the official grave reference.

Record:

  • the full name, including earlier spellings,
  • dates of birth and death,
  • a possible burial year,
  • known relatives,
  • any section, row or grave number already available.

If the grave reference is missing

Contact the cemetery administration with the person’s details:

  • Phone: +49 89 4028794384
  • Visitor address: Hochäckerstraße 90, 81737 Munich
  • Postal address: Damenstiftstraße 8, 80331 Munich

The responsible body decides whether and under which conditions information can be provided.

Transfer the location on site

  1. Open the official cemetery plan.
  2. Find the stated section and choose a suitable entrance.
  3. Use the interactive map for the administration, toilets, information boards and water points.
  4. Ask for help if the row or grave number is not clear on site.

The interactive map contains no estimated individual graves. On the notable graves page, textual grave references are included only where documented; a map marker requires a precise location source.
