Location profile
About the grounds
The Soviet cemetery on Michendorfer Chaussee is a municipally maintained war cemetery. It is separate from the Old and New Cemeteries on Heinrich-Mann-Allee. It is a place of remembrance; ordinary grave tenure periods and allocation of new graves do not apply in the same way. Established in 1946, the cemetery reached its present 5.5-hectare size in 1949. Its centre features the bronze Soldier with Flag, created in 1953 to Walter Bullert’s design.
- Visiting and use
- War cemetery and memorial site; no regular allocation of new graves.
