From woodland path into the small cemetery

This suggestion links four mapped points of reference with three precisely located graves. It is not signposted and gives no fixed duration. The tour map below shows stops 1 to 4; the markers for stops 5 to 7 appear under notable graves.

  1. Guidepost on Schildhornweg: The final woodland approach begins here.
  2. Second guidepost: It confirms the direction shortly before the walled grounds.
  3. Stone portal: The 1928/29 gate marks the transition from forest into the 0.498-hectare cemetery.
  4. Water point: This mapped point aids orientation and grave care; it is not identified as drinking water.
  5. Willi Wohlberedt: The Berlin cemetery researcher’s grave recalls someone who deliberately chose this secluded place.
  6. Willi Schulz: The chief forester’s wooden memorial reflects the material and forms of the woodland.
  7. Nico: Her shared grave with her mother is a frequently visited place of remembrance.

Historical places without markers

The Russian wooden crosses and war graves belong to the cemetery’s story, but no estimated marker is shown because the approved map data does not locate them precisely enough. Look for the memorials on site and remain on permitted paths.

Visit respectfully

The cemetery is small and quiet. Give other visitors space, do not touch private objects and begin the return walk before closing time.
