Berlin 1939–1945 War Cemetery, Commonwealth War cemetery in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany.
The Berlin 1939-1945 War Cemetery is a burial ground in the western part of the city that holds more than 3,500 Commonwealth service members and airmen. The grounds have maintained green spaces with white headstones arranged in neat rows.
After the war, graves from various locations across Berlin and eastern Germany were brought together at this site in 1945. The British authorities created a central memorial place for their fallen service members in the city.
The cemetery is administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and its graves include Canadians, soldiers of unknown nationality and five Poles. The Stone of Remembrance bears the inscription "Their name liveth for evermore", a phrase from the Book of Ecclesiasticus. The site lies under the protection of the British Crown and in this sense belongs to the territory of the United Kingdom.
The cemetery is located on Heerstrasse in the western part of Charlottenburg and is reachable on foot or by public transport. Visitors will find free access, benches, and paths for quiet walks between the graves.
The cemetery also contains graves of British Occupation Forces personnel and their families who remained in Berlin after 1945. These graves tell the story of the post-war period when British troops stayed in the city for many years.
