The state-owned Priesterweg cemetery (also cemetery on Priesterweg, also cemetery Schöneberg IV, now rarer Neuer St. Matthäus-Kirchhof) is a cemetery in Berlin's Schöneberg district of the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district near the Priesterweg S-Bahn station.
The current 20,030 m² cemetery was created by the evangelical parish of St. Matthew's Church as the "New St. Matthew Cemetery" after the "Old St. Matthew Cemetery" had reached its capacity limit and could not be expanded. In 1895 the now listed chapel was built according to plans by Paul Egeling. The first funeral took place in 1899.
However, this cemetery in the midst of allotment garden colonies was hardly accepted by the mostly wealthy community members. After the First World War, the Protestant parish of St. Matthew's Church sold it to the city of Berlin, making it accessible to all confessions.
Burials have not been carried out here since 2005. Operation will continue until the end of the rest period in 2035.
