AKA
Evangelischer Neuer Friedhof Berlin-Weissensee

This is one of several cemeteries in the Berlin district of Weissensee (often spelled Weißensee). It has a size of 7.3 acres. It's managed by the Lutheran Congregation in Weissensee. Opened in 1910 it allows burials of all faiths. The chapel was built in 1928.
It is situated between the Jewish "Friedhof Adass Jisroel" and the Lutheran "St. Bartholomäus-Friedhof". The cemetery has two war grave sections, with about 100 plots of fallen soldiers of both World Wars.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it.
