Information to assemble first
For a search at Gatow Landscape Cemetery, write down the person’s full name, possible spelling variants, birth and death year, and an approximate burial period. Add the section, row and grave number if any of them is already known. Keep the cemetery name and Maximilian-Kolbe-Straße 6, 14089 Berlin with the request so it cannot be confused with another burial ground.
