Cemetery gate


Here's a look at the entrance to Weißensee Cemetery. I just love the intricate work on the wrought iron gate. As you come inside, you see the inscribed stone that I showed you earlier in the week.


There are also a number of other memorials, like this one to victims of the National Socialist regime who were tried at killed at the Plötzensee Prison in Berlin. 


There was also this more general memorial made up of a marble star of David and a myriad of white stones. Very appropriate for a Jewish cemetery. 

I am so glad Friday is finally here. I've been feeling under the weather this week and there's a lot going on with my new job, so I'm ready for a few days of rest. What about you, do you have any big plans for the weekend, or are you going to just take it easy? Whatever you have on your calendar, I hope it's fun! And don't forget to take a look at Good Fences for more gates and fences.

  9. That is quite an amazing gate!
    (To answer your question on my blog today: Nope. I've not worked in the "industry," exactly. I worked for a group of civil engineers for a while and that sparked some interest in nuts and bolts stuff. My photo was response to an interesting visual opportunity.)

  12. What a beautiful fence and I like the marble star! Did not realize that Berlin had a Jewish cemetery. Since you are English speaking - do you have an English speaking job? (if so, then Germany has made a drastic change over the years!)
