Tempelhofer Parkfriedhof

Cemetery description

To the left of the main entrance and in the south-eastern corner, the municipal Tempelhofer Parkfriedhof Cemetery holds a large war graves cemetery containing the graves of approximately 60 Polish citizens. Most died or were killed in Berlin between 1941 and 1945. The deceased were male and female forced labourers and prisoners of concentration camps or prisons. The gravestones, bearing the personal data of the victims, are arranged in more than twenty rows. The names are legible, and the site is well maintained.
The Tempelhofer Parkfriedhof Cemetery has been disused since 1997, and there are plans to close it down in 2027 and to turn it into a park. However, it has been guaranteed that the war graves will have the right to remain in this site perpetually.
