Alter St.-Matthäus-Kirchhof Berlin, Cemetery in Schöneberg, Berlin, Germany

Alter St.-Matthäus-Kirchhof is a cemetery on a slope between the Großgörschenstraße and Monumentenstraße in Schöneberg. Its entrance gate on Großgörschenstraße stands next to the Potsdam railway line. The grounds hold gravestones such as that of the Stilly family and a neoclassical funeral chapel with a green dome and a five-arch arcade.

The St. Matthew's parish bought the hillside plot from Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Paetel on 9 June 1854 for just over 6,000 talers, and the first burial took place on 25 March 1856. The cemetery was enlarged in 1863, 1866 and 1884; from 1890 only parishioners could be buried there. In 1938–1939 the northern third was demolished for Albert Speer's plans, and in 2001 the Twelve Apostles parish took over the grounds.

The cemetery is known for the graves of the Brothers Grimm, Rudolf Virchow, Talaat Pasha and Claus von Stauffenberg. Stauffenberg's corpse was exhumed by the SS on 22 July 1944, the day after his burial, and cremated, but his tombstone remains intact. About 60 graves are designated heritage sites.

The main gate is on Großgörschenstraße, right beside the Potsdam railway line and the Wannsee line opened in 1891. The grounds lie on a slope of the Teltow plateau and fall gently toward the glacial valley, so paths run downhill from the entrance. The cemetery sits between Großgörschenstraße and Monumentenstraße on the so-called Rote Insel.

The cemetery houses the 'denk mal positHIV' memorial, dedicated to a group often overlooked in history, showing how cemeteries actively engage with contemporary society. Additionally, the Garten der Sternenkinder provides a space where parents can remember miscarried children and early losses.
