Alter Friedhof der Zwölf-Apostel-Gemeinde, Cultural heritage cemetery in Schöneberg, Germany

The Old Twelve Apostles Cemetery features extensive linden tree avenues and representative burial sites arranged along its perimeter walls in the style of an Italian Campo Santo.

The cemetery was established in 1864 outside Berlin's inhabited area on military property and reached full capacity by 1882, leading to additional burial grounds.

The burial ground contains tombs of notable figures including writer Ernst Wichert, scientist Ludwig Darmstaedter, and politician Bernhard von Bülow.

The cemetery offers various burial options and maintenance services through tomb sponsorship programs to preserve historical graves and monuments.

The 1957 chapel, designed by architect Georg Lichtfuß, incorporates colored mosaic windows created by glass artist Alfred Kothe.
