Evangelical cemetery Fredersdorf-Süd
The Evangelical Cemetery Fredersdorf-Süd is, along with the Fredersdorf-Nord and Vogelsdorf cemetery, one of three cemeteries in the community of Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf , Brandenburg, and is the only one of the three that is denominational.
The Evangelical Cemetery Fredersdorf-Süd on Schöneicher Allee in Fredersdorf-Süd was opened around 1825. He experienced four extensions, each accompanied by disputes. The main point of contention was whether the newly added land was owned by the congregation or the church. Some of these disputes continue to this day. In the meantime the parish would leave the deficit cemetery to the parish. It is operated primarily by seasonal workers.
The hereditary burials of local families, such as the Schützes, Hörnickes and Looses, are striking at the cemetery. These graves, which include the high outer walls, can still be found in the northeast on the Schöneicher Alle and in the northwest. The tombs testify to former prosperity. August Kalb decorated his grave with Italian marble. The Bothe hereditary burial takes up its own small separate area. The hereditary funeral of the Schmidt and Sebastian families is artistically outstanding. The large tombstone resembles the entrance to the cemetery chapel, with a replica of the Blessing Christ by Bertel Thorvaldsen in the middle .
The entrepreneur Carl Gottlob Bohm , who was involved in the construction of the Berlin Victory Column with innovative techniques developed by him, played a more important national role . The hereditary burial of the Bohm family has been a listed building since the beginning of 2010 , as has the cemetery chapel with its tree hedge and linden avenue , which was renovated at the beginning of the 2010s . The exact construction date of the chapel is no longer known, probably in the first 20 years of the 20th century. The small avenue of linden trees belongs to both ensembles, but in the original layout it did not lead continuously from the entrance to the chapel, but broke off about halfway. Until the Bohm family placed their tomb in between, with which the avenue coming from the entrance leads to Bohm's tomb today, the direct route led from the entrance to the chapel. This intervention led to a lengthy dispute with the landowner Verdries, which was settled through a settlement.
As with many cemeteries between East Berlin and the Oder, there is also an area with the graves of soldiers killed in World War II . In addition to two memorial stones in the rear area of the cemetery, 31 ceramic plates were laid, if they can be identified, with the names of the dead. The Second World War is also present in two other places in the cemetery. In the older, front part of the cemetery there is a memorial stone with the names of five men who perished in the village on April 20 and 21, 1945. The remains of a deserter who was shot on May 2, 1945 lie in a single grave. His mother had her son's bones transferred from Adorf to Fredersdorf.
