Jewish Cemetery Schoenhauser Allee. "This second Jewish cemetery was consecrated in 1827. 22,000 graves can be found on an area of 12.355 acres. In 1880 it was officially closed, yet well into the 20th Century there were burials such as that of the painter Max Liebermann in 1935. His restored honorary grave can be found in the back part of the cemetery.
During the Nazi era, the cemetery was badly damaged. All decorative elements made out of metal were stolen. In 1945 many gravestones were removed und were misused to build barriers against tanks in the surrounding streets. Many important persons found their last resting place here, such as the composer Giacomo Meyerbeer, the publishers Albert Mosse and Leopold Ullstein, the scholars Abraham Geiger and Leopold Zunz, the bankers Gerson Bleichröder and Joseph Mendelssohn." www.berlin-juedisch.de/jewish-berlin/info-jewish_cemeteri...
