Administration for the cemeteries in the township of Schönefeld:
Hans-Grade-Allee 11,
12529 Schönefeld
The official German name is Gemeindefriedhof Schönefeld. It's located just outside the city limits of Berlin. There is another burial location in the village, the Kirchfriedhof Schönefeld, surrounding the old church in the center of the village.
This new one is a non-denominational cemetery with a 25-year time of repose. That means a grave is only leased and once the time is up, the family needs to decide to continue the lease or give it up. At that time the grave will be leveled, the stone crushed for gravel in road constructions and the plot re-used. Keep in mind that in most countries the bodies are buried in wooden coffins (no vaults), and will have naturally decomposed after 25-30 years.
Along the perimeter of the cemetery you will find large family plots, with tall masonry structures along the cemetery wall. Those date back to the late 19th century. Even though the plots themselves in front of them have been reused, the original structures and grave plates/plaques have been preserved due to historical reasons.
Other cemeteries nearby, within the township of Schönefeld:
In German a Friedhof is usually a non-denominational and community cemetery. The Kirchhof describes a congregational cemetery (either Lutheran or Catholic) and it is most of the time located around a church or a chapel. It is not uncommon for a German village to have an old (closed) KIRCHHOF, and a modern day FRIEDHOF.
