The Kaulsdorf cemetery is a state-owned cemetery in Berlin-Kaulsdorf . It is located at Dorfstrasse 23, immediately south of the Wuhletal S and U-Bahn (city rail) station . It is laid out in a triangular shape and is bounded in the north by the Berlin – Kostrzyn railway line , in the southeast by Dorfstraße and in the west by the Wuhle .

The 2.4 hectare cemetery was rebuilt in 1911 as the successor to the village cemetery and the community cemetery at Brodauer Straße . The first burial took place on August 19, 1911.

A special feature of the cemetery is the terraced design of the grave fields. This was an attempt to compensate for the hilly terrain between the Barnim ridge and the Wuhletal . From some parts of the cemetery, it is possible to have a wide view of the Wuhletal and the Biesdorfer Höhe .

The cemetery has eight graves of victims of war and tyranny and a small grove as a place of reflection. In 1996, water pipes and paths on the cemetery grounds were renewed and a cemetery building was built in which visitors' toilets were also installed.
