The numerical solution of Poisson's equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in polyhedral domains \(\Omega\) is considered. A weighted space \(L^2_\mu(\Omega)\) is defined. This space contains \(L^2\) functions which have additional smoothness in the direction perpendicular to the edges. It is supposed that the right-hand side \(f\) of the considered boundary value problem belongs to such a weighted space. New anisotropic regularity results for the solution of Poisson's equation with \(f \in L^2_\mu(\Omega)\) are established. Then a new anisotropic mesh refinement algorithm is proposed. It gives graded meshes where the maximum angle condition is not preserved in any case. For the finite element discretization, piecewise linear functions on such meshes are used. A detailed interpolation error analysis for this finite element discretization is presented. Using the interpolation error estimates obtained, optimal convergence estimates of the finite element solution in the \(H^1\) norm are proved. Finally, the theoretical results are confirmed by two numerical examples.
