This guide introduces selected biographies and graves connected with New St Michael Cemetery, including Otto Rosenberg. It is not a complete account of the people buried at the cemetery.

Locating the graves

No precise grave position is shown here for Otto Rosenberg. Ask Catholic parish Bernhard Lichtenberg Berlin-Mitte; central parish enquiry for the section, row and grave number, then relate that reference to an entrance or named landmark on the general cemetery map.

Images for recognition

No grave or memorial photograph is shown for the selected people. Rely on the exact grave reference from Catholic parish Bernhard Lichtenberg Berlin-Mitte; central parish enquiry rather than on an assumed visual match.

Ask about another person

Send Catholic parish Bernhard Lichtenberg Berlin-Mitte; central parish enquiry the full name, known life dates, possible spelling variants and an approximate burial period. Ask specifically for the section, row and grave number. Include Gottlieb-Dunkel-Straße 29, 12099 Berlin so the enquiry identifies New St Michael Cemetery when the operator manages more than one cemetery.
