Adass Jisroel cemetery, Jewish cemetery in Pankow, Germany.

Adass Jisroel cemetery is a Jewish burial ground on Wittlicher Straße in Berlin-Weißensee, in the Pankow district. It is listed as a garden monument and is normally locked, with visits only by arrangement with the cemetery administration in Berlin-Mitte, which grants access to close relatives.

The Adass Jisroel congregation, founded in 1869, bought the land in Weißensee on 22 December 1873. After the 1876 Austrittsgesetz barred burials in the main community's cemeteries, Abraham Michelson was interred here on 24 February 1880. About 3,000 burials followed until the community was destroyed under National Socialism; the last interment was a geniza of desecrated Torah scrolls.

The cemetery is no longer in use; the last interment was a geniza holding Torah scrolls desecrated during the Nazi era. Among the graves are those of Rabbi Esriel Hildesheimer, the "Iron King" Siegmund Breitbart and sculptor Jacob Pleßner, plus five members of the Schocken family, two of whose headstones were designed by Erich Mendelsohn.

The cemetery is normally locked and spontaneous visits are not possible. Access must be arranged in advance with the cemetery administration in Berlin-Mitte, which grants it only to close relatives. Between 1985 and 1989 a cemetery administrator funded by the Weißensee district kept the grounds open Monday to Friday and on Sundays.

The last interment here was not a person but a geniza: a burial of Torah scrolls desecrated during the Nazi period. The cemetery is normally locked, and visits are arranged only through the cemetery administration in Berlin-Mitte, which grants access to close relatives.
