Friedhof Baumschulenweg

The cemetery extends across two sections divided by Kiefholzstrasse, featuring ceremonial halls and a modern crematorium building measuring 50 by 70 meters.

The crematorium structure, designed by architects Axel Schultes and Charlotte Frank, incorporates elements from Maghreb mosques into its contemporary architectural design.

With 1,858 memorials spread throughout the grounds, this cemetery represents a German approach to commemorating the deceased through structured memorial spaces.

The cemetery complex includes three ceremonial halls: two spaces accommodating 50 people each and one larger hall with capacity for 250 participants.

The crematorium building stands as a solid block extending 10 meters both above and below ground, incorporating split stone boxes that open toward glass casings.
