Friedhof St. Johannis und Heilandkirchhof
A Lutheran cemetery used by the congregations of St. Johannis and Heiland-Churches. This one has the size of about 28 acres. A very contemporary looking chapel was opened in 1964. There are no more burials conducted at this cemetery, and it will be eventually be re-dedicated into a city park. Somewhere around 2031. It borders the Friedhof Plötzensee.
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.
