A large city like Berlin has countless cemeteries of every size and for almost every religious community. There are said to be more than 200 cemeteries in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Some of the cemeteries are very important culturally and historically. You can find graves of famous personalities there and there are also impressive tombs. They tell a lot about the history of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What distinguishes Berlin from other cities is that there is no such thing as “the” cemetery. If you look at Vienna, Milan, Prague or Paris, for example, you will find large cemeteries where most residents are buried. In Berlin there are many smaller cemeteries, all of which are very different. From the small hidden cemetery in the forest to the very old cemetery in the middle of the city, from the military cemetery with its memorial to the Jewish cemetery, each shows a piece of Berlin’s cemetery culture and each is unique in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suicide cemetery - Grunewald-Forst cemetery<\/div >\n

On a hike through Berlin's Grunewald forest, we were drawn to perhaps one of the city's most idyllic cemeteries, the Grunewald-Forst cemetery, which is actually only known to Berliners as the \"suicide cemetery\" or \"cemetery of the nameless\".<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Suicide cemetery   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

Small cemetery in Berlin's Westend - Luisenfriedhof II<\/div >\n

On K\u00f6nigin-Elisabeth-Stra\u00dfe in the Westend district of Charlottenburg, a small terraced cemetery lies between the city motorway and some houses. A detour to Luisenfriedhof II is worthwhile if you want to get an insight into Berlin's burial culture.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Luisenfriedhof II   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

The F\u00fcrstenbrunner Weg cemetery is located in the Westend district of Berlin.

The singing clock of the Parochial Church<\/div >\n

In the Klosterstra\u00dfe in Berlin Mitte stands the oldest church of the reformed community of Berlin. The Parochial Church has not only an interesting nave, but also a churchyard and a crypt that should not be missed.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Parochial Church   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

A total of 6 Berlin cemeteries are located on the contiguous area of the cemeteries in front of Hallesches Tor between Mehringdamm and Zossener Stra\u00dfe in Berlin-Kreuzberg.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Cemeteries in front of the Halleschen Tor   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

Soviet Memorial in Sch\u00f6nholzer Heide<\/div >\n

The Soviet Memorial in Sch\u00f6nholzer Heide is rather unknown, but I find it no less impressive than the memorials in Treptow and at the Brandenburg Gate.A tip brought the memorial to my attention, so we went to Pankow to discover it.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Soviet Memorial Sch\u00f6nholzer Heide   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

Pl\u00f6tzensee Cemetery<\/div >\n

A rather unknown cemetery lies on the eastern shore of Pl\u00f6tzensee. Rather by chance, I passed the Pl\u00f6tzensee cemetery in Wedding on a bicycle tour and decided to walk through the park-like grounds.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Pl\u00f6tzensee Cemetery   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

Soviet Memorial in Treptow Park<\/div >\n

I love to discover Berlin. Unfortunately, one often takes far too little time for his hometown and in addition Berlin is not exactly small. Since you are often with the public transport, especially from my home district Spandau, quickly times an hour on the road until you reach the desired destination. The Treptower Park is…<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
