BERLIN SOUTH-WESTERN CEMETERY Germany

The BERLIN SOUTH-WESTERN CEMETERY is located close to the village of Stahnsdorf, about 26 kilometres south west of Berlin and 15 kilometres east of Potsdam. The BERLIN SOUTH-WESTERN CEMETERY is on the eastern edge of the Potsdam Forest.

Visitors travelling along the main road between Potsdam and Stahnsdorf should follow signs for Tetlow, Stahnsdorf and the airport, Schonefeld. Immediately after passing the village boundary of Stahnsdorf lies the left hand turning, at the traffic lights, into Bahnhofstrasse. The BERLIN SOUTH-WESTERN CEMETERY lies 500 metres after this left hand turning on the left hand side of the road. The CWGC plot is approximately twenty minutes walk from the entrance. The plot is found by following signs for the church and continuing on the main path running through the BERLIN SOUTH-WESTERN CEMETERY.
