history

Waiting hall at the cemetery attendant's house

The cemetery was laid out by the Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Berlin-Mitte in 1897 after the Dreifaltigkeitskirchhof I and the Dreifaltigkeitskirchhof II had reached their capacity limit. The first funeral took place in 1900.

The chapel designed by August Orth was destroyed in the Second World War and replaced by a simple new building. The cemetery attendant's house, also designed by Orth, as well as the enclosure, the mourning hall and the entrance gate are now listed as historical monuments .

After the Holy Trinity Church in World War II had been destroyed, the cemetery was from the adjacent cemetery Holy Cross of the Holy Cross Church in Berlin-Kreuzberg also managed. Today it belongs to the Evangelical Cemetery Association Berlin Stadtmitte in the administrative region south.

The park-like character of the cemetery with forest and meadow areas is due to the fact that large parts of the graves that were no longer paid for were cleared.

According to the annex to the report on the status of the implementation of the cemetery development plan of the Senate Department for Urban Development (status: May 31, 2014), the cemetery will be closed and will be used for other purposes (new housing construction). Of 4.57 hectares, only 0.1 hectares remain for urn burials.

On December 1, 2016, the use of the cemetery of parts of the area that had already been closed for burials on October 8, 2012 was terminated.

In November 2017, plans were announced that the Anne Ramm Foundation would create a campus and learning workshop with a boarding school for young people in need of assistance on the northern - already de-dedicated - area. A total of 9 buildings are to be located on the site: 3 buildings for the college campus, 4 residential buildings (rental apartments), 1 KiTa building and a building as a shared canteen.

BVV Tempelhof-Schöneberg decided in April 2018 that the southern parts should remain as green space even after the cemetery was no longer used.
