The Protestant Luisenfriedhof III (German: Der evangelische Luisenfriedhof III) is a cemetery in the Westend district of Berlin. The cemetery is under monument protection.[1]

History

[edit]

A church-owned and operated cemetery with a size of 12 hectares, Luisenfriedhof III was consecrated in 1891 and the first burial took place on 19 June 1891.[citation needed] Two years later, a cemetery chapel was built.[1] The early Gothic red brick building was designed by Johannes Vollmer and Heinrich Jassoy.[1] The steeple of the chapel was destroyed in World War II. In 1905, the cemetery expanded to its present size.
