In den Kisseln, Cemetery and garden monument in Spandau, Berlin, Germany

In den Kisseln is a municipal cemetery in Berlin's Spandau district, covering almost 62 hectares between Pionierstraße, Radelandstraße, Kisselnallee and Bötzowbahn. The grounds lie on sandy, groundwater-free dunes planted with pines, known locally as Kisseln, and the old section along Erbstellenweg holds ornate family tombs and two mausoleums.

The cemetery was founded in 1886 after the original Spandau burial ground ran out of space for the growing population. It was created as an overflow site to meet the district's burial needs.

The name comes from local Berlin dialect and refers to the coniferous forests that once covered this area of Spandau.

The grounds are freely accessible to visitors and can be explored on foot. It is advisable to wear sturdy shoes since the paths cross uneven terrain.

In the extension laid out by city architect Karl Elkart, a war cemetery with a memorial for Spandau residents killed in the First World War was created in 1919. The site was meant to become Berlin's western central cemetery, but the First World War, the formation of Greater Berlin and inflation prevented it.
