Kirchhof St. Bartholomäus

The St. Bartholomäus Cemetery covers more than ten hectares, featuring a chapel, administrative buildings, and a gate complex built in traditional architectural style.

Established in 1894, the cemetery belonged to St. Bartholomäus Church community, which merged with Advent-Zachäus to form the Evangelical Church Community Am Friedrichshain in 2022.

The cemetery stands as a protected garden monument, preserving its original late 19th-century design with specific sight lines connecting the chapel, portal, and inspector's house.

The cemetery administration office at the main entrance on Giersstraße 19/21 welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM, with varying closing times throughout the year.

In 2013, one-third of the cemetery area became Germany's first church-owned forest cemetery, allowing natural woodland burials among old deciduous trees.
