Schönhauser Allee Jewish Cemetery

The cemetery grounds contain over 25,000 graves arranged closely together among maple, linden, and chestnut trees covering an area of several hectares.

Established in 1827, this burial ground served as the primary Jewish cemetery in Berlin for fifty years until the opening of Weissensee Cemetery.

Notable individuals buried here include composer Giacomo Meyerbeer, painter Max Liebermann, and banker Gerson von Bleichröder, who shaped Berlin's Jewish community.

The cemetery welcomes visitors Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM at Schönhauser Allee 25.

A special path called Totenpfad spans 400 meters along the cemetery wall, created at the request of King Friedrich Wilhelm III for funeral processions.
