Formerly known as Dahlwitz-Hoppegarten, it was combined with Hönow and Münchehofe in 2003, forming the town of Hoppegarten. It is located just a few hundred yards from the capitol Berlin. The cemetery has a size of about 5.4 acres (21850 m²). The oldest surviving gravestones date back to the 1860's. Some locally known jockeys and horse trainers are buried here, who worked and trained at the nearby horse track "Trabrennbahn Hoppegarten".

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (15-30 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 15-30 years. Otherwise, the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker then 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 indefinitely.
