This is a small village cemetery located in Wolferstadt, Donau-Ries County in Bavaria. Hamlets belonging to Wolferstadt are Brenneisenmühle, Erlachhöfe, Hagau, Jackermühle, Rothenberg, Spitzmühle, Steinbühl, Waldstetten, Wolferstadt and Zwerchstrass. This is the only cemetery in this area.

On the side of the church are two war memorials with the names of fallen and some returned home soldiers of the Wolferstadt community. By the late 1990's the original cemetery was almost completely filled with burials, the cemetery was then extended south, outside the walls of the original grave yard.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse have decomposed naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever.
