Very beautifully landscaped cemetery. The St. Peter Cemetery is most likely the same age as the St. Peter Monastery itself, so it dates back to around the year 700. But there was already a cemetery in this area during the migration period. At first the cemetery was only intended for monastery members. The first documentary evidence is the granting of burial rights by Archbishop Konrad I of Abensberg on March 22, 1139. The cemetery was probably smaller then than it is today or had a different shape, as the monastery of St. Peter stood. The oldest surviving gravestone in this cemetery is that of Abbot Dietmar († 1288). The tombstone bears the inscription † VI. K. Martii. Obiit. I Dietmar. Abas. S. Pet. A gravestone with the oldest family coat of arms and the inscription Hie leit her Man Gaerr... dates from 1300 (both gravestones are now in the cloister of the monastery).
