Maisbrunn, an estate in the [[Dachau (Freistaat Bayern, Germany)|Dachau]] district of [[Bayern Federal State (Germany)|Bavaria]], [[Germany|Germany]]. The former owners of this land had set aside a field to be used as a burying ground, before the Mennonite chapel and cemetery were built at [[Eichstock (Oberbayern, Freistaat Bayern, Germany)|Eichstock]]. After the Hartmetz and Hirschler families left, the estate passed into the possession of a Catholic, who broke down the cemetery fence and used the gravestones to improve his buildings. The appeals of the previous owner to purchase the cemetery in the name of the Mennonite Church of Eichstock were not recognized, since the congregation was not incorporated and could therefore not acquire property.
