Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery, Cultural heritage cemetery in Westend, Berlin, Germany

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery extends across 3.7 hectares of land and contains numerous gravestones arranged along paved pathways through maintained green spaces.

Founded in 1896 to address the growing Lutheran population in West Berlin, the cemetery received its first burial on July 25th of the same year.

The cemetery holds the graves of renowned figures including Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim, opera singer Franz Betz, and silent film actress Henny Porten.

The cemetery grounds connect to Luisenfriedhof III through two paths and feature a Romanesque chapel that underwent reconstruction in 1952 following wartime damage.

The burial grounds include the final resting place of John Rabe, who established the Nanking Safety Zone during World War II to protect Chinese civilians.
