One of the three cemeteries that form the Friedhof Nordend Complex in Berlin-Pankow. Opened in 1897 it's the most southern part of the complex. In 2013 the northern sections W, X, Y, Z were closed for future burials. This cemetery contains several sections solely used for urn burials (UH = Urnenhain) and a War Grave Section.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (20-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 30 years. Otherwise the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker than used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it.
