Listed chapel from 1910–1912 by Paul Egeling

The II. Städtische Friedhof Eythstrasse or the state-owned cemetery Schöneberg II in Berlin is located in the southeast of the Schöneberg district in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district on the border with the Tempelhof district . The 110,342 sqm comprehensive Park Cemetery was established in 1908. Its chapel from 1910-1912 stands as a monument under protection . The Krumme Pfuhl , which lies on the cemetery grounds and is to be preserved as a rare dead ice hole , is protected as a natural monument .

history

The model for the layout of the cemetery was the central cemetery in Hamburg . The Schöneberg Cemetery was inaugurated on September 21, 1908. Since the chapel was not yet finished, the inauguration took place in a makeshift chapel. The first burial took place on the same day. Originally, a crematorium and two urn halls were also to be built in the cemetery .

Surroundings

The cemetery is surrounded by Eyth-, Alboin-, Arnulf- and Domnauer Straße. The main entrance is on the north side on Eythstrasse opposite the Protestant Michaelskirche , and there is a side entrance on Alboinstrasse. In the west, the Lindenhof settlement , which is protected as a building and garden monument and dating back to 1918–1920, is based on plans by Heinrich Lassen and Martin Wagner . In the south - already in Tempelhof - the Marienhöhe settlement and the St. Matthias cemetery from 1891 and in the east the Blanke Helle settlement , a listed residential complex from 1929–1931 based on designs by Erich Glas and Hans Jessen . In the northeast, the cemetery borders on the Alboinplatz garden monument .

Crooked pool

The reed-covered Krumme Pfuhl lies in a depression between the chapel and the nursery. With an ordinance of August 10, 2004, the Berlin Senate added the Krummen Pfuhl (ND-24) and other neighboring dead ice holes to the list of natural monuments in Berlin . The protection purpose is "to permanently preserve these naturally valuable and rare ice age dead ice holes."

The Krumme Pfuhl is part of a glacial channel with several ponds and dead ice holes, such as the Blanke Helle natural monument in the adjacent Alboinplatz. From the Blanken Helle the chain of lakes continues to the northeast over the Wilhelmsteich at the Lehnepark , the Klarensee in the Alten Park to the Francketeich in the Franckepark east of the Tempelhofer Damm . In the southwest the Hambuttenpfuhl follows on Grabertstrasse in the former Steglitz villa colony Südende .

The depression - probably the namesake for the so-called Tempelhof Switzerland - is built over in many places today and some bodies of water are no longer available or have risen in parks such as the Bose Park . Nevertheless, the channel, which is still largely unobstructed on a map from 1901, can still be traced today, since the layout of the cemeteries and parks - similar to the small Grunewald chain of lakes - largely follows the geological formation.

Cemetery chapel

The cemetery chapel, designed by the Schöneberg City Planning Council and city ​​elder Paul Egeling, dates from 1910–1912. The monument with a central dome and colonnade is in the style of historicism .

Egeling had designed the simple and also listed chapel for the New Twelve Apostles Cemetery around 1890 , where he is also buried. Egeling also designed the coat of arms of the former Schöneberg district, which was valid until the end of 2000 .
