The Jewish cemetery in the Weißensee district is one of the largest in Europe, with over 115,000 graves. Its "architecturally remarkable" mourning hall was inaugurated in 1880. Numerous Berlin personalities such as the Hebrew writer Micha Josef Bin Gorion (1865-1921) or the painter Lesser Ury (1861-1931) are buried in the approximately 42-hectare cemetery. The layout of the cemetery goes back to the design of the architect Hugo Licht (1841-1923).
