Stahnsdorf Cemetery Temporarily Closed Due to Hazardous Ice ConditionsSat 7th Feb, 2026The Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf, one of the most prominent cemeteries in Brandenburg near Berlin, has suspended public access and most burial services due to severe icy conditions. However, the current weather conditions have made access to gravesites extremely challenging. Even after spreading grit and salt, the walkways become slick again within a short period, making it nearly impossible to ensure safe access. The goal is to resume normal burial and visitation operations as soon as weather conditions permit and safety can be assured. The temporary closure highlights the broader impact of severe winter weather on essential services in the region, as authorities prioritize the well-being of visitors and staff during hazardous conditions.
