Jüdischer Friedhof Schönhauser Allee

About 22,800 burials took place there, including Max Liebermann, Giacomo Meyerbeer, and Leopold Ullstein. [1]

The entrance is at Schönhauser Allee 25, 10435 Berlin, about 400 metres from U Senefelderplatz. [1]

The official city page lists opening hours and a phone number, but no admission price or booking process. [1]

Price check: 2026-08-02. Admission cost is UNVERIFIED, so confirm before travelling. [1]

The Friday closing time is 13:00, so Friday morning is the only practical Friday visit window. [1]

The cemetery is closed on Schabbat, Sundays, and public holidays throughout the year. [1]

The site suits visitors interested in Jewish Berlin, cemetery history, and remembrance. [1]

People who want a casual park visit should avoid it, because it is an active religious burial site and memorial. [1]

UNVERIFIED estimate: allow 45 to 90 minutes, because no standard visit length is published. [1]

Some people are buried in layers. Many other graves have simple numbered stones and no elaborate markers. [1]

The cemetery opened in 1827 as a replacement for the Jewish cemetery in Große Hamburger Straße. [1]

It closed after the Jewish cemetery in Weißensee opened in 1880, although individual burials continued until 1940. [1]

The original ceremonial and mortuary buildings were destroyed, and Ferdinand Friedrich designed the memorial that replaced them in 1961. [1]
