Berlin-Wedding, St.-Paul-Friedhof I

in 1866, the 3.7-hectare St. Paul cemetery on Seestrasse in Wedding was opened. Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed four suburban churches in the 1830s as Berlin's urban area expanded: the Elisabethkirche in Mitte, the Nazarethkirche in Wedding, the Johanniskirche in Moabit and the Paulskirche in Gesundbrunnen. The last three of the aforementioned parishes decided to build their cemeteries next to each other; St. Paul's Cemetery is the easternmost of the three and borders on Nazareth I Cemetery. Various neoclassical grave monuments are still preserved. The cemetery contains 38 well-kept individual graves with victims of the Second World War. (Martin Bayer, 24.06.2020)
