About this cemetery
The Plötzensee Cemetery in Berlin-Wedding opened in 1888 and grew through the merging of several earlier cemeteries, including four churchyards that stood at Plötzensee in the late 19th century. It is now state-owned, was deconsecrated in 2001, and contains exclusively the graves of victims of war and tyranny, including soldiers of both world wars.
