Friedhof Weißensee, Garden monument and cemetery in Pankow, Germany

Friedhof Weißensee is a 43,638 m² cemetery between Roelckestraße and Schönstraße in Berlin-Weißensee, laid out as an Alleequartierfriedhof with tree-lined paths dividing it into burial quarters. Its main entrance is on Roelckestraße, with a side entrance on Schönstraße. The grounds are a protected garden monument, and the brick gate and portal on Roelckestraße date from 1913.

The cemetery was laid out in 1893 as the burial ground of the Neu-Weißensee community, outside the built-up area, because Prussian law forbade burials inside inhabited districts. It initially covered only half of today's 43,638 m², reaching the Schönstraße boundary shortly before the First World War. The brick gate and portal on Roelckestraße date from 1913, by Carl James Bühring and Hans Schellhorn; the Schönstraße gate and hall were added in 1925 by Friedrich Späth.

The cemetery belongs to the Pankow district and is listed as Friedhof Pankow XV. Its main entrance on Roelckestraße is marked by a brick gateway and portal designed in 1913 by Carl James Bühring and Hans Schellhorn, while the Schönstraße gate and cemetery hall date from 1925 and were designed by Friedrich Späth.

The cemetery is accessible during daylight hours on most days, though opening times vary by day of the week. It is best to check specific hours before visiting, especially if you plan to go on weekends.

Two war grave plots face the funeral hall near the main entrance: 113 victims of the Second World War lie in a collective grave marked by a bronze plaque with their names and dates, and 39 more rest in individual graves under slanted majolica slabs inscribed "1939–1945".
