Care and maintenance

Grave care

Seven mapped water points support care during the frost-free season; an external care enquiry requires an unambiguous grave reference.

Grave care by GraveStay

For an unambiguous assignment, state Stubenrauchstraße Cemetery, Stubenrauchstraße 43–45, 12161 Berlin, the deceased person’s name and every available section, row or grave reference. The external process receives cemetery ID 493 and postcode 12161 automatically.

Water and equipment

Seven water points are mapped on the grounds. Supplies are normally turned on only after the spring frost period and switched off after Totensonntag in November. Interruptions can also occur during the season. Bring a suitable container, your own tools and, when necessary, a small water reserve.

The cemetery map shows each point separately. A water-point marker is not evidence of permanent availability or drinking-water quality.

A practical care checklist

  • Start within visiting hours with enough daylight to return.
  • Save the grave number and location offline; the visitor map is not a name index.
  • Use the Stubenrauchstraße main gate. The Fehlerstraße access is operational.
  • Put plant waste and packaging only in the designated collection areas.
  • Give funerals privacy and keep working routes clear.

Private motor vehicles may not enter. Commercial vehicles require a paid permit; commissioning grave care does not automatically waive that rule.

Rights and design

Permitted planting, edging and alterations depend on grave type, right of use and cemetery rules. Discuss substantial work, new monuments or permanent fixtures with the cemetery administration first. This portal cannot grant permission.
