The village of Booßen was incorporated into the city of Frankfurt/Oder in 1974. This Lutheran cemetery has an approximate size of 1.8 acres (7380 m²). There is an older church yard in Booßen, around the old village church. But that cemetery is now defunct, after the last burial took place there in the late 1950's. And then there is the Russian War Cemetery (Russisches Ehrenmal Booßen) at the eastern end of the village.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (15-30 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse can decompose naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period, the duration can be extended by another 15-30 years. Otherwise, the grave will be leveled and reused, the marker then used as gravel in road construction. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. Also, the town or owner of the cemetery might find a grave of historical significance and will protect and keep it indefinitely.
