At the same time, we will explore the big and small questions raised by the lives and works of the people buried here.
Your cemetery guide is Dr Joachim Schmidt, a Berliner by choice, theologian and long-time enthusiast of this place and what it can tell us.
Why is there an apple tree in a cemetery?
Why did Brecht and Hegel both wish to be buried in this particular cemetery?
And how did a cemetery for the poor become the ‘Père-Lachaise of Berlin’?
