Evangelischer Friedhof Berlin-Friedrichshagen, Protestant cemetery in Friedrichshagen, Germany
The Evangelischer Friedhof Friedrichshagen is the cemetery of the St. Christophorus parish, bordered by Aßmannstraße to the north and Peter-Hille-Straße to the east. Its 6.5 hectares have been listed as a Berlin garden monument since 1995. A brick chapel built in 1905 in Romanesque style was redesigned and enlarged in 1925 by architect Friedrich Brinkmann. A war grave plot commemorates Friedrichshagen's World War II dead.
The burial ground was established in 1832 and ranks among the oldest active cemeteries in Köpenick. For generations, it has served the local community as a final resting place and reflects the region's development over time.
Johannes Bobrowski (1917–1965), buried here in a grave of honour maintained by the State of Berlin, set his novel "Levins Mühle" in the West Prussian countryside of his childhood. The cemetery also holds the graves of sculptor Felix Görling, aviation pioneer Robert Thelen and publisher Lucie Groszer, whose stones record the town's artistic and technical circles.
The cemetery is open for visitors to walk through the quiet paths between grave sections and memorial areas. Those seeking information about burials or general cemetery matters can contact the administrative office during its regular hours.
The cemetery has been listed among Berlin's garden monuments since 1995, a designation based on its layout and planting rather than nature-reserve status. Writer Johannes Bobrowski (1917–1965) lies here in an Ehrengrab of the State of Berlin, and a war graves plot commemorates Friedrichshagen's dead of the Second World War.
