This is the older (Catholic) cemetery in the village of Putzbrunn, surrounding the old St. Stephen's Church in the center of the village. It dates back several hundred years, and is only about an acre in size. The "Pfarrkirche St. Stephan" was built in 1725. A small plaque at the church commemorates the fallen soldiers from this village from World Wars I and II.

There is a newer cemetery (opened in 2004), outside the village, known as the Waldfriedhof Putzbrunn.

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 can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it indefinitely.
