Berlin-Tegel Russian Orthodox Cemetery

Berlin-Tegel Russian Orthodox Cemetery, Russian Orthodox cemetery in Tegel, Germany.

The Berlin-Tegel Russian Orthodox Cemetery is a burial ground on Wittestraße in Reinickendorf, owned by the Brotherhood of St. Prince Vladimir. Its centrepiece is the Church of Saints Constantine and Helena, built in 1894 to plans by Prussian architect Albert Bohm, with five blue onion domes modelled on St Basil's Cathedral. The cemetery covers over 18,000 m² and holds ornate family tombs alongside simple wooden crosses.

The cemetery was established in 1893 and received soil sent directly from Russia to allow burials on native earth. A church building was constructed on the site soon after, marking an early chapter of Russian Orthodox presence in Germany.

The cemetery belongs to the Brotherhood of Saint Prince Vladimir, founded to support the Russian Orthodox community in Berlin. Its church, consecrated in 1894, is dedicated to Saints Constantine and Helena, whose feast day, 3 June, marked the laying of the foundation stone in 1893. Noble families such as Kropotkin, Golizyn and Dashkov lie in elaborate family tombs beside simple wooden crosses.

The cemetery lies on Wittestraße 37 in Tegel, Reinickendorf, near the Holzhauser Straße motorway. The grounds and the church of Saints Constantine and Helena can be visited; the church stood neglected until restoration in 2005. Look for the memorial to composer Mikhail Glinka at the northern wall and the gateway holding nine bells.

The gateway on Wittestraße holds nine bells that German troops looted from the Soviet Union during the war and the Red Army later recovered; the oldest was cast in 1899. The crosses above the cupolas rise over small crescents, a detail visitors often miss.
