Urnenfriedhof Gerichtstraße
Berlin-Mitte, Mitte, Berlin, Germany
At the site of today's urn cemetery was the first cemetery created by the city of Berlin. This cemetery was inaugurated in 1828 and extended for the first time in 1831, and closed in 1879 for full occupancy. From 1903, a part of the cemetery was converted into a park. The Berlin Association for Cremation had already built an urn hall on the cemetery. The first crematorium in Berlin was built from this urn hall in 1912, and the cemetery was redesigned in the same year.
The path system is still the same as that of the old cemetery, a large part of the tree stock was destroyed in the Second World War. The western part of the cemetery was landscaped in 1964, leaving only a few hereditary burials. The tomb of the sculptor Louis Tuaillon is also located here, and the stele on his grave was probably made according to his own design. In 1991 the entrance area of the crematorium was changed.
