Hiking

Before reunification, the border installations ran through the Invalidenfriedhof, after which it was reconstructed partly on the basis of a private initiative (support association). Originally it belonged to a home for disabled people (invalids) and was located far outside the city gates. Famous people, not just the military, were later buried here. Probably the most famous grave belongs to the Prussian military reformer Scharnhorst.

Unbelievable but true, at the time of the Berlin Wall the cemetery was a restricted area and many graves fell victim to the border installations. Today a green corridor with a memorial character.

For a little Sunday walk highly recommended, and even a longtime Berliner wonders what there is to rediscover in this city again and again.
