The Koppesche Armenfriedhof is named after the Berlin mayor and council relative Christian Koppe. He had acquired the area in 1696 and donated the site to the municipal administration for the poor in Berlin in 1704 for the construction of a cemetery for the poor in what was then known as the Scheunenviertel district of Spandau. The cemetery was officially used until 1739 and Christian Koppe was also buried here after his death in 1721 at his own request. His grave is the only one preserved today.
In addition, suicides who were not allowed to be buried in the city's mostly Christian cemeteries were buried here. The last burial on the square probably took place in 1838.
