Nymphenburger Friedhof

The small Nymphenburg Cemetery on Maria-Ward-Straße is an idyllic spot that invites a quiet visit. It lies close to the Botanical Garden and Nymphenburg Palace Park. Because it is not a public cemetery in the municipal sense, new burials are only possible if a family plot already exists. Numerous well-known figures are laid to rest here, including the film director Bernhard Wicki, the conductor Eugen Jochum, and the actress Ruth Leuwerik. The deceased nuns of the Maria Ward Order, which is based nearby, are also buried here. Occasionally, small guided tours led by knowledgeable guides are offered, giving you a deeper look into the history of this special place.
