EN: The cemetery of Münster is located on the terraced area south of the parish church. The area is about 15 by 55 meters and contains about 200 graves. (Judging from aerial photos taken in the summer, apparently only a smaller portion of them have upright gravestones sticking out of the snow in the winter).
The small chapel on the eastern edge of the cemetery dates from 1637 and formerly contained an ossuary. So the cemetery is probably at least that old.
DE: Der Friedhof von Münster befindet sich auf dem terrassierten Areal südlich der Pfarrkirche. Das Gebiet ist rund 15 auf 55 Meter gross und enthält rund 200 Gräber. (Den Luftbildern aus dem Sommer nach zu urteilen, offenbar hat nur ein kleinerer Teil davon aufrechte Grabsteine, die im Winter aus dem Schnee ragen.)
Die kleine Kapelle am Ostrand des Friehofs stammt aus dem Jahr 1637 und enthielt früher ein Beinhaus. Der Friehof ist also vermutlich mindestens so alt.
Name of church or churchyard: Himmelfahrt Mariens Münster
Approximate Size: Large (100+)
