thumb thumb The Nordfriedhof ("Northern Cemetery"), with 34,000 burial plots, is one of the largest cemeteries in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is situated in the suburb of Schwabing-Freimann. It was established by the former community of Schwabing in 1884. It is not to be confused with the Alter Nordfriedhof in Munich, which was set up only a short time previously within the then territory of the city of Munich. A station on the Munich U-Bahn is also called Nordfriedhof after the cemetery, and the surrounding area is also known locally as "Nordfriedhof" from the station. The imposing cemetery buildings include a chapel, a mortuary and a burial wall, which was designed between 1896 and 1899 by the municipal architect Hans Grässel. In 1962 a columbarium was added to the north by the architect Eugen Jacoby. The chapel is described, slightly altered, in Thomas Mann's novella ''Death in Venice'', when the sight of it precipitates a foreboding of death in the protagonist. ==Selected burials== * Peter Paul Althaus, poet of Schwabing * Herb Andress, actor * Annette von Aretin, first female announcer of Bayerischer Rundfunk * August Arnold, film producer and director * Karl Arnold, caricaturist in the journal ''Simplicissimus'' * Philip Arp, actor, cabaret performer, author and theatre director * Gert Bastian, brigadier-general, symbolic figure of the peace movement * Fritz Benscher, actor and quiz master * Otto Bezold, politician * Franziska Bilek, caricaturist and artist * Louis Braun, professor and historical painter * Beppo Brem, folk actor * Georg Britting, writer * Christine Buchegger, actress * Franz von Defregger, artist * Hans Dölle, legal academic * Sammy Drechsel, sports reporter and cabaret performer, and his wife Irene Koss, actress and the first television announcer in Germany * Constanze Engelbrecht, actress * Oskar Eversbusch, professor of ophthalmology * Theodore Feucht, painter * Josef Flossmann, sculptor * Leonhard Frank, writer * Hermann Frieb, resistance fighter against the Nazi regime * Marie Amelie von Godin, writer, supporter of women's rights and Albanologist * Günter Freiherr von Gravenreuth, lawyer * Klaus Havenstein, cabaret performer and actor * Johannes Heesters, actor and singer * Trude Hesterberg (Schönherr), cabaret performer * Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler's official photographer, with his daughter Henriette von Schirach * Kurt Horwitz, actor, director at the Munich Kammerspiele, director of the Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel * Peter Igelhoff, musician, composer of pop music and jazz * Günther Kaufmann, actor * Eduard von Keyserling, writer (grave 25-4-1) * Kathi Kobus, landlady of the Alter Simpl * Wolfgang Koeppen, writer * Oskar Körner, killed during the Munich Putsch, Second Chairman of the NSDAP * Otto Kurth, actor and director * Inge Latz, composer and musical healer * Hermann Lenz, writer * Ernst Mach, physicist and philosopher * Ferdinand Marian, actor (grave now removed) * Georg Marischka, actor and director * Anton Neuhäusler, Bavarian dialect poet * Peter Pasetti, actor * Ludwig Petuel senior and junior, industrialists * Toni Pfülf, SPD politician * Bally Prell, performance artist * Sebastian Osterrieder, sculptor, ''Krippenwastl'' * Theodor von der Pfordten, killed during the Munich Putsch (in family grave) * Hans Pössenbacher, actor * Mady Rahl, actress (grave 178-U-66) * Anton Riemerschmid, founder of the first German business school for girls * Barbara Rudnik, actress * Wilhelm von Rümann, sculptor, formerly in the ''Alten Vereins-Urnenhalle'' (urn now secured) * Arnulf Schröder, actor * Carl-Heinz Schroth, actor * Oswald Spengler, political philosopher * Heinz-Günter Stamm, actor, radio and theatre director * Fedor Stepun, philosopher and sociologist * Karlheinz Summerer, Roman Catholic chaplain for the Munich Olympics, 1972 * Siegbert Tarrasch, chess player, theoretician and writer * Kurt Weinzierl, actor, cabaret performer and director * Frederic Vester, biochemist, environmental expert and writer * Albert Weisgerber, painter * Annemarie Wendl, actress * Otto Wernicke, actor (grave now removed) * Josef Wittmann, church painter * Karoline Wittmann, painter * Paul Wittmann, sculptor * Eduard Zimmermann, journalist and television presenter * A mass grave for 2,099 victims of aerial bombardment during World War II has been converted to form a "grove of honour for air raid victims" (''Ehrenhain für Luftkriegsopfer''), with a monument by Hans Wimmer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nordfriedhof (Munich)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
