Auferstehungsfriedhof, Historical cemetery in Pankow, Germany.

The Auferstehungsfriedhof is an 8.4-hectare cemetery in Berlin-Weißensee, bounded by Indira-Gandhi-Straße, Orankeweg and Hansastraße. A central avenue lined with western arborvitae leads to the Neo-Gothic chapel, built of unplastered brick with a three-axis facade, polygonal apse and a small tower erected around 1890. The cemetery wall, gate and administration building are also of brick.

The cemetery was laid out and opened as a burial ground in 1880, and in 1899 the Resurrection parish received the site after its old poor cemetery on Friedenstraße was cleared for the 1891/92 church. A small memorial grave for three Soviet forced laborers was added after World War II.

The cemetery belongs to the Evangelical Resurrection Community of Berlin-Friedrichshain, which received the site in 1899 after its old burial ground at Friedenstraße was given up for the Resurrection Church built in 1891/92. The community still holds earth and urn burials here and added a columbarium wall in the early 21st century.

The cemetery is easy to explore on foot, with pathways clearly laid out and trees providing natural landmarks for orientation. Visitors should allow time to walk the grounds and locate graves of notable individuals at their own pace.

The cemetery holds a small memorial grave plot for three Soviet forced labourers, laid out after the Second World War. It is easy to miss among the family graves, yet it records a group otherwise little commemorated in Weißensee.
