Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde, also known as the Gedenkstätte der Sozialisten (the Memorial to the Socialists), is a cemetery that contains most of the graves of former East German (GDR) leaders, including those of Walter Ulbricht, who ordered the building of the Berlin Wall, and Wilhelm Pieck, the first President of the GDR.

Also among those buried there are Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, co-founders of the Communist Party of Germany.
