Türkenfeld is a small village in the county of Fürstenfeldbruck with about 3500 inhabitants (as of 2006). It lies about 20 miles West of Munich. This old Catholic cemetery surrounds the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt). There is a newer part of the cemetery directly to the North of this church yard. Both are called Friedhof Türkenfeld. The church itself dates back to 1489. Multiple expansions and renovations took place over the next centuries. The current structure was completed in 1889. As often in Germany the cemetery and the church/chapel within have different names.

PLEASE NOTE:
Unlike American cemeteries, due to lack of space, the "final" resting places in Germany are not eternal. The plots are usually leased (subscribed to) for a certain period of time (15-25 years). After that it depends on the descendants (or the community if it's a famous person) to finance another period of 15-25 years.
If no family is left, and the grave is old, the plot is cleaned and will be used for another burial.
