Manage episode 447765717 series 3564037
Come enjoy an atmospheric walk around a cemetery bursting with history! Let's explore the Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde in this beautiful, golden Autumn together.
Listen at home, or follow along with a blog post, map, and photos - you could even follow the route as you walk through the cemetery!
How do you do that? Check out this link to find a map, exact locations of all the graves, photos to make it easier to find them, and information on each of the people we discuss.
To celebrate the beautfiul change of season, crunching leaves (Jonny) and acorns (Pip) underfoot, and not least Halloween, we hope you agree this is something a bit special. The Friedrichsfelde Cemetery is the final resting place of many Berlin workers and towering figures in the Socialist and Communist movements.
Find the graves of Walter Womacka, Rosa Luxemburg, (in)famous spies, WWII victims the man responsible for setting up the Berlin Wall and loads more!
