Memorial "Blutmauer"

The name goes back to the bloody events of March 12th and 13th in 1919, when at least eleven insurgents were executed by firing squad in front of the southern boundary wall of the then still existing cemetery on Möllendorffstraße because of their participation in the March Fights.
The fighting marked the end of the November Revolution in Berlin in 1918. A 1920s memorial was destroyed after 1933. After 1945, another memorial was erected on the site. In 2021 the memorial plate erected at the "Blutmauer" bear the names of the eight murdered people known by name.
