Lichterfelde cemetery
The state-owned cemetery Lichterfelde (formerly Alter Friedhof Lichterfelde-West ) in the Berlin district of Lichterfelde (locality Lichterfelde-West) is located at Moltkestrasse 42 between Augustaplatz and Gardeschützenweg. It was laid out in 1876 for the Lichterfelde-West villa colony founded by the Hamburg entrepreneur Johann Anton Wilhelm von Carstenn . Therefore, the cemetery was planned from the outset as a representative overall facility.
At that time the cemetery was still far from the gates of Berlin. Lichterfelde was incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920 . There are three honorary graves of the city of Berlin in this cemetery .
The cemetery offers burial options such as earth elective graves, earth row graves, urn election graves, urn community graves, family graves or resting community .

Others
The shortening of the traditional name Alter Friedhof Lichterfelde-West to Cemetery Lichterfelde in the 1970s could lead to confusion:
- The old Lichterfelde-Ost cemetery , Langestrasse 7, is now called the Lankwitz cemetery .
- There is also the Lichterfelde Park Cemetery on Thuner Strasse (the largest of these three), also in the area of Lichterfelde West.
