About event
Around the Dahlemer Annenkirche from the 13th century. A churchyard was laid out, which was expanded from 1906 after Dahlem developed into a middle-class and academic residential area.
The early gravestones tell of people from the 17th and 18th centuries, those from the 19th and 20th centuries. by craftsmen and dignitaries of the newly formed parish of Dahlem. Many scientists and personalities from the Free University of Berlin, which has had a scientific location here since the beginning of the 20th century, can be found here.
Two important Protestant clergy, Helmut Gollwitzer and Kurt Scharf, who belong to the professing church, represent the Protestant community, which is also politically active: the Atonement campaign of the peace movement as well as reconciliatory mediation with Rudi Dutschke and the student movement. His grave is near that of President Scharf. Gertrud Staewen is lying next to him. She was one of the first members of the board of trustees of the Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation in Berlin. She was included in the list of “Unsung Heroes” by the Berlin Senate in 1958. The former Federal President Horst Köhler was recently buried in the immediate vicinity.
In the entrance area, the symbol of stigmatization against racial madness, war and dictatorship is used to raise a hopeful message.
"You will gather the lost. But direct our steps onto the path of peace."
