Friedhof I der Ev. Georgen-Parochialgemeinde, Historical cemetery in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany

Friedhof I der Georgen-Parochialgemeinde lies at Greifswalder Straße 229/234 in Prenzlauer Berg, not Pankow. Its irregular grave fields are cut by main and cross avenues, and the original cemetery wall from 1815 survives with the earliest hereditary and pastors' graves. A passage connects to the neighbouring Neuer Friedhof St. Marien-St. Nikolai, opened in 1857.

On 30 April 1814 the St. Georgen congregation bought a vineyard plot outside the former Königstor for 1000 Friedrichs d'or to replace the Georgenkirchhof at Lange Scheunengasse, closed after the magistrate ruled that no corpses should be buried in inhabited areas. The sugar boiler Johann Christian Düring was buried here on 29 May 1814. Space ran short, so in 1827 a 99-Ruten field was bought for 190 Thaler and in 1840 three Morgen were added.

The cemetery was long the burial ground of the wealthier members of the St. Georgen parish: merchants and tradespeople who paid the fees and secured family plots while alive, erecting mausoleums, vaults and wall graves. The poorer parishioners were buried free of charge at the Koppe cemetery instead.

The cemetery lies on Greifswalder Straße 229/234 in Prenzlauer Berg, not in Pankow proper. A passage connects it to the neighbouring Neue Friedhof St. Marien-St. Nikolai opened in 1857, so both grounds can be walked in one visit. The main and cross avenues follow irregular grave fields; the 1815 churchyard wall survives along the Heinrich-Roller-Straße side.

The cemetery lies in Prenzlauer Berg, not Pankow, at Greifswalder Straße 229/234, historically Königsthor 16. A passage connects it to the neighbouring Neuer Friedhof St. Marien-St. Nikolai, opened in 1857. The first burial, on 29 May 1814, was the sugar boiler Johann Christian Düring, after whom locals briefly called the ground Düring'scher Begräbnisplatz.
