Friedhof IV der Gemeinde Jerusalems- und Neue Kirche is a burial ground located in Berlin-Kreuzberg along Bergmannstraße. The grounds contain many graves and monuments, along with a neoromanesque chapel designed by architect Louis Arnd.
This burial ground opened in 1852 to provide additional space as Berlin's population grew rapidly during the city's expansion. The congregation required more room to accommodate burials during this period of urban growth.
This burial ground takes its name from the Jerusalem and New Church congregation that established it for their community. Walking through, you encounter graves of people who played important roles in Berlin's cultural and business life.
The cemetery is located at Bergmannstraße 45-47 in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district and is easily accessible on foot. Internal pathways link this burial ground with neighboring cemeteries, making it simple to explore the grounds.
A notable bronze sculpture depicts a sleeping figure of Chronos, created by sculptor Hans Latt following a design by Georg Wolff. This uncommon monument portrays the passage of time through artistic expression and often goes unnoticed by visitors exploring the grounds.
