Old Institutional Cemetery – A Place of Remembrance Emerges<\/span><\/strong>
\nSince 2014, the “Friends of the Old Institutional Cemetery Memorial” of the former Wittenau sanatoriums has been working to make the cemetery and its history known in the Reinickendorf district and in the city of Berlin. The aim is to establish a dignified memorial for the victims of Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945 who still rest here. Now the time has finally come. The first work for a memorial on the grounds of the Old Institutional Cemetery took place during an \u00d6JD work camp in the summer of 2022. In 2026, we will be working at the old institutional cemetery for the fifth time.<\/p>\n

The focus of the work will be to clear the area of the Old Institutional Cemetery of undergrowth. In addition, landscaping work is planned, such as weeding tree seedlings and clearing the cemetery wall and old paths. This work will make the overgrown row graves recognisable again and the path system of the cemetery usable again. The work is done 5 hours a day, e.g. 8.30 am – 1.30 pm. There is a snack break in between!<\/p>\n

In the free time spent together, it is easy to get to the centre of Berlin with all its sights on foot and by public transport. The surrounding area of Potsdam is also not far away! In good weather, there are opportunities for swimming and boating. In addition to the excursions, we plan group activities that depend on your interests and that you help to shape, e.g. through games, songs, music, dances, workshops, themes, photos that you bring along.<\/p>\n
