In a quiet corner of the Volkspark Friedrichshain, this cemetery is the final resting place of the victims of the revolutionary riots in March 1848, as well as the fallen of the November Revolution 1918. An exhibit in a shipping container tells their story and puts it into historical context. A free audio-guide provides more background and an introduction to some of the protagonists.
