Design and present-day character
St.-Andreas-St.-Markus Cemetery was established jointly by two Friedrichshain congregations in 1885. Lime avenues and mature trees shape its grounds. Gustav Knoblauch designed the brick chapel built in 1900. A section containing 899 individual war graves commemorates victims of war and tyranny.
Read this character description together with the development of St Andreas–St Markus Cemetery: it identifies what gives the grounds their present identity without turning the cemetery into a purely historical attraction. A visit can focus on spatial structure and named orientation points while leaving individual graves undisturbed.
