EN: The cemetery of Oltingen is located in the circular walled churchyard on a hill west of the village center. The cemetery exists probably ever since the founding of the church in the 9th to 11th century.
The cemetery consists of about 70 graves, which are distributed along the outer wall.
In 1517 an ossuary was built, which was used until 1628. Thereafter, the accumulated bones were again buried at the cemetery.
