Boys’ Houses of the Friedrichs Orphanage Rummelsburg

Information about the boys houses on the Rummelsburger bay can be found at de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrichs-Waisenhaus_Rummelsburg

Formerly an orphanage - now condominiums. Beautiful buildings.

In connection with the development of the area that began in 2007, archaeological soil investigations were carried out, whereby remains of the institution's own cemetery were found under the parking lot from 1951–1990 (which covered the cemetery with a 40 centimeter thick layer of concrete). The burial site was in use between 1859 and 1896 and was closed in 1915. 400 deceased orphans and 96 carers from the orphanage found their final resting place on it. In addition to the bones, tombstones, wooden crosses and even remains of toys were uncovered. Everything together was given a dignified place in the Friedrichsfelde central cemetery. The excavations led to the urban project Gedenkort Rummelsburg.Source: Wikipedia
