Old Cemetery of Twelve Apostle (Berlin, Germany)
The Old Cemetery of Twelve Apostle is one of the most important cemeteries in Berlin in terms of art and culture.

About the cemetery

The Old Cemetery of Twelve Apostle is the first cemetery of the Protestant Parish of Twelve Apostle, established in 1864 by the royal landscape architect Carl David Bouché (1801-1881) in the style of a Campo Santo. At that time, the cemetery was located far outside the then inhabited urban area.

High concentration of grave monuments with considerable artistic value, some rare galvanized bronze sculptures, iron casted fences and a visible historical tree and rich plant population characterize this worth seeing place. Here we can find gravesites of famous artists of the 19th and 20th century, for example the sculptor Reinhold Begas and the painters Anton von Werner and Robert Warthmüller.

The chapel is a new building, created in 1957 by G. Lichtfuss.
