history

In 1899 the Dreifaltigkeitsgemeinde acquired the six- acre property at what was then Straße 16 of the Lankwitz development plan, which was called Lutherstraße from 1906 and has been called Paul-Schneider-Straße since 1961. In 1902 the chapel was built by the architect Otto Kuhlmann . The cemetery was opened in 1903 and the first burial took place.

Since the 1950s, the cemetery has been under the joint administration of the three evangelical parishes Paul-Schneider, Dreifaltigkeit and Luther ( cemetery administration of the Evangelical parishes of Lankwitz and Luther ) and is now supported by the joint cemetery commission ( cemetery commission of the evangelical parishes of Lankwitz and Luther ).
