This Lutheran cemetery is owned and run by the Luther Congregation. It has the size of about 37,395 square meters, or about 9.2 acres. It has the number 5137 on Germany's index of cemeteries. The cemetery was opened in 1902, built under the direction of architect Jürgen Kröger (1856-1928) and borders the Lutheran Kreuz Friedhof, both in Berlin-Steglitz, subdivision Lankwitz.

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 have decomposed naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years.

War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever.
