Friedhof I der Ev. Georgen-Parochialgemeinde

The Georgen-Parochial Cemetery I is a burial ground in Berlin's Pankow district with a chapel and many historically protected grave sites. The grounds feature mature trees, paved paths, and burial areas arranged in different styles and designs across the landscape.

This burial ground was established in 1814 as a second cemetery for the Lutheran congregation after an older one was converted to other use. The creation marked an important moment in the neighborhood's development during the early 1800s.

The cemetery holds burial sites of different Berlin families and reflects the social variety that shaped the city over generations. Walking through, you encounter a record of how people from various backgrounds found their final resting place here.

The cemetery is open during daylight hours and conditions are most pleasant during dry months. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk the grounds and the paths cross through the entire site.

In 2014, a designated section for lesbian burials was created here, offering space for people whose relationships and ways of life were long overlooked. This area represents a forward-thinking step by the cemetery community.
