Soviet War Memorial Schönholzer Heide, War memorial and cemetery in Pankow, Germany.

The Soviet War Memorial includes burial sites for 12,000 soldiers, featuring an obelisk reaching 33.5 meters and a sculpture of Mother Russia with her deceased son.

The memorial opened on November 7, 1949, built on a former Nazi forced labor camp location to honor Soviet soldiers who died during World War II.

During annual commemoration ceremonies on May 9, visitors gather at the memorial to remember Soviet soldiers through wreath-laying and formal observances.

The memorial grounds connect directly to Schönholz S-Bahn station, with dedicated parking spaces available near the entrance on Germanenstrasse.

The memorial contains glass-covered passages adorned with hammer and sickle emblems leading to a crypt beneath the central obelisk.
