It has a size of 30,800 square meters. The chapel was built in 1875/76. It's actually the second cemetery of the Friedrichswerdersche congregation, but the first one independently run by that church alone.
The original cemetery (located at Chaussestrasse 126 in Berlin-Mitte) is still co-managed with the DorotheenstΓ€dtische Gemeinde.
Please note that the final resting places in Germany are not eternal, due to lack of space. This cemetery has a "period of repose" of 20 years. Once the time is up for a renewal of the "lease" the cemetery administration will place a small sticker on the gravestone to alert the family to contact the office of the cemetery. Unless the family of the deceased pays for another period of 20 years, or the grave is of historical importance (in that case the city of Berlin will carry the costs), it will be leveled and re-used. Leftover stones will be collected and eventually crushed and used as gravel in road construction.
This cemetery has a lot of old family plots, and graves of many of Berlin's finest citizens. Some of those Honorary Graves are cared for by the city and they display an Honor Brick, stating "Ehrengrab der Stadt Berlin".
