The cemetery chapel was inaugurated on March 28, 1909 after a construction phase that only lasted 4 months.
On October 13, 1908, the Royal Consistory of the Province of Brandenburg set the opening of the churchyard for April 1, 1909 - of course the chapel should also be put into operation on this date.
Its builder, the building inspector Gustav Werner, modeled it on the Norwegian stave churches, from which it differs significantly. In contrast to the Nordic chapels, the cemetery chapel was not built in vertical stick construction, but in horizontal block construction.

A wonderful interior, beautiful details on the facade and the back also shows its best side.
Typical architectural wishes of the imperial era, think of the Kongsnaes sailor's station in Potsdam and the imperial station Joachimsthal/Werbellinsee.
