Dorotheenstadt Cemetery

So much history. The architecture goes on throughout the city. Just makes you wonder

Unique and a delight. Reviewer T Z said “cutest and prettiest”, absolutely

Cutest and prettiest cemetery i ever visited, many hydrangea blossoming durinng summertime

I went to see a James Turrell lecture in the chapel and can highly recommend that. A professor talks for about 45 minutes while you enjoy the light installation, which slightly changes colors the entire time. A must see if you are into light art. Advance registration needed.

Dorotheenstadt Cemetery is a remarkable site steeped in history and culture. It is the final resting place of many influential figures, including the great philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. The cemetery's tranquil pathways and well-preserved monuments offer a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. Visiting Hegel’s grave, along with those of other notable intellectuals, like Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel feels like a journey through history. A must-visit for philosophy and history enthusiasts!

Beautiful cemetery. Brecht and Hegel are buried here.

Beautiful place. All sorts of different decorations for the resting places for a lot of people buried here. Just beautiful.

Lovely spot for lovers of German intellectual history -- many luminaries are buried here, and even if the names are unfamiliar, the monuments themselves are works of art. It's like wandering through a sculpture garden.
