Alter St.-Matthäus-Kirchhof

Resting place of the Brothers Grimm


Expert Pick Off The Beaten Path

Address:
Großgörschenstraße 12
Schöneberg
Berlin, 10829

Description

If you expected the graves of the Brothers Grimm to remind you of their fairytales, you'll be deeply disappointed. Instead of romantic reminisences, you will discover protestant simplicity, the tombstones of the four-member family blackened with time. Situated on the top of a hill, the graveyard is nevertheless a pleasant oasis sealed off from the hustle and bustle of the city.
