Pappelallee Cemetery

Pappelallee Cemetery is a burial ground and public green space in Pankow featuring burial chambers, memorial stones, and paved pathways throughout the grounds. The site combines resting places with open lawns and recreational areas for visitors.

The cemetery was established in 1845 for the non-denominational community and has served as a burial site since then. Following World War II, approximately 90 victims found their final resting place here, including German and Russian soldiers.

The cemetery holds graves of notable individuals such as women's rights advocate Agnes Wabnitz and memorials that reflect the district's memory of important local figures. The burial sites and monuments tell stories of people who lived and worked in Pankow.

The cemetery is open to the public with well-maintained paved pathways that are easy to navigate. Visitors can also find green spaces and a play area, making the site accessible for different uses.

The site received the Gustav-Meyer-Prize in 1995 for successfully combining historical graves with modern park use. This recognition honored how the cemetery serves as both a memorial space and a functional green area.
