effects on the local environment

By promoting biodiversity and improvement in living conditions for birds and insects, the cemetery contributes to the sustainable development of the adjacent landscape park Herzberge. The near -natural marginal areas of the cemetery are important for the biotope composite and urban ecology.

renovation work at the central cemetery

As part of the construction work, various renovation work is carried out. The renewal of the stairs at the celebration hall is the first step and is expected to be completed in mid -November. Then the paths behind the celebration hall are renewed because they are in very poor condition. In the case of the renovation, the sealed area is also minimized to improve the seepage of rainwater. In addition, dark asphalt surfaces are replaced by lighter pavement in order to reduce the heat heating in summer and to influence the microclimate positively. The total costs for the renovation amount to around 230,000 euros.

The redesign of the Central Cemetery Friedrichsfelde is part of a long -term development concept that aims to increase the attractiveness of the cemetery and ensure its long -term economy. User and demand-oriented offers are intended to encourage more people to use the cemetery as a urban mourning and local recreation location.
