Friedhof Heerstraße

The Friedhof Heerstraße cemetery is located at Trakehnerallee 1 (Trakehner avenue No.1), district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin, Germany, to the east of the Olympiastadion.

The cemetery was originally named and planned for the local residents of Villenkolonie Heerstraße.

Created by landscape architect Erwin Barth as a forest cemetery, the chapel was designed by Erich Blunck.

Another problem for the Olympic organizers was that the cemetery chapel could be seen from the sports fields; accordingly the roof was lowered and other changes made to its design.

From the beginning this cemetery was open to all: Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even suicides.
