Finkenrieker Friedhof, Cemetery and park in Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg, Germany

Finkenrieker Friedhof is a cemetery and park in the Wilhelmsburg district that spans both sides of König-Georg-Deich-Straße. The grounds near the Süderelbe river contain approximately 8,500 burial plots.

The grounds opened in 1957 and have served the city as a burial place since then. A chapel with a bell tower stands at the site and features a relief commemorating the 1962 flood victims.

The cemetery's name comes from the Finkenriek marshland on Wilhelmsburg's southern edge. Since 2020 the grounds have included a Muslim burial section and a washing and prayer house, whose architect Medine Altiok consulted Wilhelmsburg's imams and community representatives. The burial fields and the building face Mecca.

The cemetery lies in the south of the Elbe island of Wilhelmsburg, close to the A1 motorway exit Stillhorn, and is protected from the Süderelbe by the Finkenrieker Hauptdeich. The old southern section with the chapel and the new northern section are separated by König-Georg-Deich. The southern plots are reached by a west-east avenue, the northern ones by a south-north axis.

The wash and prayer house opened in 2020 as the first stage of a Muslim burial ground, with 104 plots laid out on a former storage yard. Architect Medine Altiok modelled it on mashrabiyyas and geometric and floral patterns of traditional Islamic architecture; the roof is covered in zinc and domes are set into the ceilings of the washing room and prayer room.
