Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde, Cemetery and cultural heritage site in Lichtenberg, Germany

The Friedrichsfelde Central Cemetery spans 28 hectares of landscaped grounds with monuments, tombs, and mausoleums displaying varied architectural designs from different periods.

Established in 1881 as Berlin's municipal cemetery, the site gained prominence after Wilhelm Liebknecht's funeral in 1900, which drew over 100,000 attendees.

The Socialist Memorial contains twelve information panels detailing the cemetery's connection to German political movements and the lives of notable individuals buried there.

Visitors can access the cemetery through the main entrance on Gudrunstraße from 7:30 AM until sunset between February and November, and from 8:00 AM in winter months.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed a revolution monument for the cemetery in 1926, though it was later destroyed by the Nazi regime in 1935.
