Friedhof Wannsee, Lindenstraße

The cemetery at Lindenstraße features numerous stone monuments, graves, and a chapel designed by architect Otto Stahn in the late 19th century.

Established in 1887, the cemetery served the growing population of Alsen colony following the completion of the railway line to Wannsee.

The cemetery wall displays an unusual symbol combining a Christian cross with a Star of David, representing its role as an inclusive burial ground.

The cemetery contains 75 war graves along a dedicated wall, including 26 unidentified soldiers, with a memorial monument near the church.

Several Nobel laureates rest here, including Emil Fischer, who received the chemistry prize, alongside prominent Berlin merchants and scientists.
