The 16th-century Old Southern Cemetery is the oldest surviving necropolis in Munich. It arose outside its borders as a reaction to the plague that consumed the city at that time. Its area is almost 10 ha. There are many historic tombstones and monuments.
The most important include: a monument in honor of the victims of the peasant uprising, the central cross in the new part of the cemetery designed by Johann von Halbig, Eugen Albert, Ellen Ammann, Roman Anton Boos, Justus von Liebig, Joseph Anton von Maffei, Ferdinand von Miller, Joseph von Lindwurm, Georg avon Hauberrisser, Georg Simon Ohm.
The Old Southern Cemetery was built in 1563 on the initiative of Prince Albrecht V. It was in the years 1788-1868, that is for 80 years, the only burial place of the deceased from all over the city, so you can find the graves of the entire social section of Munich living in those years.
