from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dreifaltigkeitskirchhof II (not to be confused with the Dreifaltigkeitskirchhof I in front of the Hallescher Tor ) is located in Berlin-Kreuzberg and is one of the four Protestant cemeteries on Bergmannstrasse . Created in 1825 , it is also the oldest of them. He belonged to the Dreifaltigkeitskirchengemeinde in Mauerstraße .

description

Characteristic for the approximately 49,000 m² Dreifaltigkeitskirchhof is the large number of partly monumental old hereditary burials and mausoleums from the 19th century as well as old tombs fenced with cast-iron and partly rusted grids. The hillside location, which is rather unusual for Berlin conditions, is also striking , due to the fact that all the cemeteries on Bergmannstraße were built on a former vineyard . The mentioned cemetery is a Berlin cultural monument .

A war cemetery is located on a smaller part of the large cemetery area. A collective grave was laid out in the center, with a few individual graves around it. A total of 399 war casualties rest here, the largest number of victims being civilians who died either in the nights of bombing or at the end of the war. Some soldiers and 22 unknown persons who died in 1945 are buried. From the time of the First World War , 30 soldiers also found their final resting place.
