St. Elisabeth-Friedhof, Cultural heritage cemetery in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

St. Elisabeth-Friedhof spans 2.6 acres of land, featuring historical monuments, family plots, and a chapel constructed in 1884 within its grounds.

The Lutheran St. Elisabeth Congregation established this cemetery in 1844, initially covering 2.5 acres before expanding to 8.7 acres by 1875.

The cemetery reflects German burial traditions where graves are maintained for 20-30 years, after which they may be reused unless extended ownership is purchased.

The merger of St. Elisabeth and St. Sophie congregations in 1999 placed the cemetery under the management of St. Sophie Congregation.

During the Berlin Wall period, the Versöhnungskirche church at the cemetery's edge became isolated and was later demolished by East German authorities in 1985.
