The Mennsdorf church is not surrounded by a village cemetery, as is usually the case. It is said that heavy rainfall in the middle of the 19th century caused the small village stream, the Paitzdorfer Sprotte, to swell to such an extent that it flooded and swept away half the village. Since the church and a few surrounding farms are very low-lying, the flood rose so high that even the cattle in the stables could barely keep themselves above water. The cemetery was washed away after this disaster. With foresight, the Mennsdorf citizens created the new churchyard on the western edge of the village.
