Burials under trees should actually be possible in Röhrmoos.

But there are delays.

Röhrmoos/Hebertshausen – The Unterweilbacher Baron Clemens von Trebra actually assumed that the first forest burials in the forest he owned between Röhrmoos and Unterweilbach would take place in 2021, but his plan was delayed.

This is a 21 hectare forest area, of which 19.5 hectares are on the Röhrmooser Flur and the rest belongs to the municipality of Hebertshausen.

Therefore, several local councilors wanted to know from Mayor Dieter Kugler why it has become so quiet lately around the burial forest or Friedwald.

The head of the community wanted or could only say that the development plan has long been legally binding and development work for the burial forest, which is accessed from the community connecting road from Röhrmoos to Unterweilbach, has begun.

The Dachauer Nachrichten was able to find out more from the forest owner.

Clemens von Trebra justified the delay with "little legal details that still have to be worked out".

This is also related to the fact that both Röhrmoos and the municipality of Hebertshausen are involved in the process.

Not least due to Corona, the land use planning has been delayed.

In the meantime, however, most of the paths to the old resting trees have been prepared with wood chips and the burial trees have been marked, according to the Baron.

Clemens von Trebra also makes no secret of the fact that the construction of the chapel in the middle of the burial forest was also delayed due to the lack of suitable craftsmen due to Corona.

For von Trebra, the facility for such a burial forest was initially completely new territory, as he said.

In the meantime, however, he is firmly convinced that the first urn burials around the selected trees can take place next year at the latest.

He was convinced by a model like the one that has been implemented in the “Waldruh Sankt Katharinen” resting place on Lake Constance for several years.

Twelve urns are then embedded in the ground under the selected resting trees, but individual burial sites under a trunk are also possible.

There should be no anonymous burials, a name plaque commemorates the deceased and allows the relatives to find the concrete place of remembrance in the middle of the natural forest.

The burial forest will initially cover an area of ​​around five hectares, but it can be expanded at any time.

Depending on how many people want a last rest in nature.

The planning also provides for a number of benches and parking spaces, which will of course only be paved, but not tarred.

There is no doubt that the burial culture in rural communities has changed significantly in recent years.

Family graves are fewer, urn graves and urn walls in cemeteries have long been a matter of course.

But the burial forest between Röhrmoos and Unterweilbach is something new in the region, because there are only a few natural cemeteries in all of Bavaria.
