About the grounds
The Russian Orthodox cemetery is beside the Alexander Nevsky Memorial Church on Kapellenberg, in the area of the historic Russian colony Alexandrowka. It is distinct from the neighbouring Jewish cemetery on Puschkinallee and from the Soviet cemeteries on Bassinplatz and Michendorfer Chaussee. In 1830 Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed the enclosure with four entrances and sandstone pillars. Clergy and people who served the church are buried here; residents of Alexandrowka were buried at Old Cemetery instead.
