Friedhof Kaulsdorf, Cemetery in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Germany.
Friedhof Kaulsdorf is a 2.4-hectare cemetery laid out in a triangle at Dorfstraße 23, directly south of the Wuhletal S- and U-Bahn station. Its sides are formed by the Berlin–Kostrzyn railway to the north, Dorfstraße to the southeast and the Wuhle river to the west. The grave fields are arranged in terraces to compensate for the slope between the Barnim ridge and the Wuhletal.
Friedhof Kaulsdorf was laid out in 1911 as the successor to the old village cemetery and the municipal cemetery on Brodauer Straße. The first burial took place on 19 August 1911. In 1996 the water pipes and paths were renewed and a cemetery building with visitor toilets was added.
Among the graves are those of sculptor Karl-Günter Möpert (1933–2014), caricaturist Willy Moese (1927–2007) and footballer Günter "Jimmy" Hoge (1940–2017). Eight graves commemorate victims of war and tyranny, and a small grove serves as a place of reflection. The cemetery building erected in 1996 also holds public toilets for visitors.
The grounds slope gently, so wearing comfortable shoes is advisable and finding your way around may take a moment initially. The site is freely accessible to the public at any time and offers a quiet environment for visitors.
The burial sections were designed in a terraced arrangement to handle the natural slope between the Barnim upland and the Wuhletal valley below. This stepped layout creates an unusual landscape that guides visitors down through the cemetery naturally.
