Charlottenberg is a borough of inner city Berlin, since 1945 to the end of partition was in the British sector of control. It is also home to one of the oldest cemeteries in Berlin.
Luisenfriedhof, shall we say, opened its doors and soil to new visitors in the mid 1860's
Charlottenberg at the end of the 19th century was a very affluent area, once called "The richest town in Prussia". During the Cold Was it was the centre of West Berlin. It began to fade after reunification and the rise of the now more popular Mitte area.

Seasons Greetings to one and all, live your lives to the full, live by your own rules. This is not a rehearsal, you are a long time dead.
Go to your own grave regretting the things you have foolishly done rather than rueing the chances you have missed.
