Cemetery of the Soviet garrison in Eberswalde

The Eberswalde Soviet Garrison Cemetery was established on April 15, 1946 by Order No. 117 of the Commander of the SMAD, Vasily Danilovich Sokolovsky. This order included the establishment and maintenance of "special cemeteries for citizens of the USSR." The establishment of such a cemetery in Eberswalde was expressly required in the order. From 1946, the cemetery was used and it was completed around 1949. The cemetery was enlarged in 1956 and 1963. By 1967, 860 people known by name had been buried. In addition to military personnel, they were also civilians, many of them children. The dead had died as a result of war wounds, accidents or diseases.
The Garrison Cemetery is located in the Westend district on Heegermühler Straße, between the station and Westendkino, on the north side of the street. The adjacent properties are a park and a restaurant.
