The tour tells the stories of writers Christa Wolf and Annemarie Bostroem, artists Beatrice Zweig and Doris Kahane, opera director Ruth Berghaus, and many others.
First brought into the spotlight approximately 200 years ago with the funeral of Johann Gottlieb Fichte, the cemetery subsequently became an attractive final resting place for figures from the intellectual world, first with the burial of Karl Friedrich Schinkel and later with that of Bertolt Brecht.
In cooperation with the Evangelical Cemetery Association of Berlin City Center, the Brecht-Weigel Museum offers themed cemetery tours every Wednesday at 2 p.m.
The meeting point is the courtyard of the Brecht House.
