About this cemetery
Friedrichsfelde Central Cemetery was officially opened on 21 May 1881 as a municipal cemetery for Berlin. It was the first in Berlin where burials of the poor were possible, since the city covered the funeral costs. Now in the borough of Lichtenberg and owned by the State of Berlin, it is also known as the Socialist Cemetery and holds the graves of figures such as Karl Liebknecht.
