Friedhof Pankow XI
Pankow, Berlin, Germany
This was a very small city run cemetery, opened in 1902, located in the northern part of Berlin. It's back literally borders the neighboring state of Brandenburg, It's only about 1 acre in size. it has been closed for new burials since 1985. In 2025 (40 years after the last interment, the city plans to re-designate the area as a city park. There are currently only about 30 markers left.
Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it.
