Die Liebe höret nimmer auf - Love will never end

Berlin-Weißensee, Jewish Cemetary

 

There are three Jewish Cemeteries in Berlin, all of them in the former Eastern half (Well, geographically they are still in the East;-) ). All of them survived the Nazi regime, and the last war.

 

While the smallest and most centrally located one is (from a photographer's point of view) rather unspectacular, the other two in Prenzlauer Berg and Weißensee are enchanted spots of morbid beauty. The larger of the two is the Weißensee one, hosting a good part the burial sites of the German elite before the 1930s.

 

Untouched for nearly a century and overgrown in many parts there is a special sense of transcendence and dignity to this place.
