Traces of Kadriorg German Cemetery
Tracing the German cemetery associated with Kadriorg calls for care: a historical name does not establish exact burial boundaries.
Kadriorg’s surroundings have changed repeatedly, and former burial grounds may now lie beneath a later landscape. The name “German cemetery” may refer to a community or to a term used in historical records, but it cannot by itself place individual graves precisely on a modern map. Compare maps from different periods, archival descriptions and any archaeological evidence; questions may remain even then. Approach the area as a place connected with the memory of those buried there, rather than hunting for unverified graves on the surface.
