This tour will take participants through cemeteries, monuments, and post-cemetery parks in four Berlin neighbourhoods. Over three hours, we will explore the landscape imaginaries of 19th century ‘rural’ cemeteries, the ‘re-wilding’ of urban spaces in the late 20th century, and the rise of ‘green death’ movements across Europe. Particular attention will be paid to the tension between memorialisation and ecology.
The tour will start at the Prinzessinnengarten Jacobi, Hermannstraße 99-105 (Neukölln), and move up through Neukölln and Kreuzberg, before ending at Silent Green Kulturquartier. A portion of the trip will be made by U-Bahn, so it's recomended you get a day ticket. The tour will include about 6 km of walking, so please wear comfy shoes and dress for the weather!
