St.-Pius-St.-Hedwig-Friedhof, Catholic cemetery in Alt-Hohenschönhausen, Germany.
St.-Pius-St.-Hedwig-Friedhof is a cemetery in Berlin-Lichtenberg divided into two sections with tree-lined paths connecting the burial areas. A neo-Gothic chapel built in the early 1900s stands as the central religious structure on the grounds.
The cemetery was founded in 1890 and later became a memorial site for war victims from various nations, especially soldiers from World Wars. After the conflicts, it evolved into a place of remembrance for those who suffered under dictatorship and political persecution.
The cemetery became a place of devotion for the Catholic community and served many families across generations as a burial ground. People visit today to remember relatives quietly, especially those who suffered under political persecution.
The cemetery is located in Alt-Hohenschönhausen and easily accessible for visitors who can explore the different sections on foot. The grounds remain open for quiet visits and moments of remembrance, especially on holidays when many people honor their relatives.
The cemetery holds memorial groves dedicated to war victims from Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Soviet Union, allowing people far from home to be remembered together. These special sections form a touching network of international remembrance in one place.
