The state-owned Schönow cemetery, also known as the former Schönow cemetery, is located on Teltower Damm 270 in the south of Zehlendorf-Schönow.
It was laid out in 1831 on an already existing burial site. Many families from Schönow were buried here.
In 1905 the cemetery was expanded according to plans by the city gardening director Emil Schubert.
In 1945 113 victims of war and tyranny were buried here. Most of them were young and old men who died in skirmishes in the Battle of Berlin on the banks of the Teltow Canal. The remains were divided into 4 collective graves and 18 individual graves.
The cemetery has been closed to occupancy since 1968. The last regular rest periods expired in the 1990s. However, the war graves remained due to the permanent right of rest.
Nowadays, according to the Senate Administration, the area is a "green space with a cemetery character".
