Luisenfriedhof II

Luisenfriedhof II is a cemetery in Berlin-Charlottenburg that covers extensive grounds with mature trees and open spaces. The site features winding paths between grave plots, a small chapel, and numerous memorials representing different architectural styles.

The cemetery was established in 1891 as a burial ground and later expanded to accommodate more graves. It sustained damage during World War II that required later restoration work.

The cemetery was named after Queen Luise, a reference to Prussian history that visitors see acknowledged throughout the grounds. Graves reflect many different styles and traditions, showing how people of various backgrounds chose to honor their deceased.

The main entrance is located at Königin-Elisabeth-Straße and provides access to the full cemetery grounds. Visitors should expect uneven paths and wear comfortable shoes, especially if planning to explore different areas of the site.

A 1930s settlement house stands on the grounds and now serves as residence and workspace after recent renovation. This repurposed building shows how historic structures have been creatively integrated into the cemetery's operations.
