Adass Jisroel cemetery

Adass Jisroel cemetery is a Jewish burial ground in Berlin's Pankow district that covers several hectares and contains thousands of graves. The grounds are maintained and open to the public.

The burial ground was established in 1880 when the Orthodox Jewish congregation acquired the land. Its history shows gaps during periods of persecution and later resumption of burials.

The cemetery remains an active place for Berlin's Orthodox Jewish community and shows how religious traditions persist in the city. Visitors can see gravestones and memorials that tell stories of generations of families.

The cemetery is open on specific days of the week and visitors should check current opening times in advance. It is advisable to wear respectful clothing and observe the rules of the site.

The office at the entrance maintains detailed burial records in a traditional card catalog system. This historical documentation helps visitors find information about their ancestors.
