The Hohenzollern crypt, located in Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom), reopened to the public after six years of restoration. It is the most important dynastic cemetery in Germany, displaying 500 years of Prussian nobility history.
In the cathedral's basement, 91 sarcophagi from different periods and styles are displayed, along with funerary garments, wax sculptures and jewelry belonging to Prussian nobility, spanning from the late 16th century to the early 20th century.
Birgit Walter, curator of Berlin Cathedral, advises visitors that they are in a special place where they should maintain silence and connect with peace and respect for the dead, while guiding groups through the narrow staircase that leads to the church's basement.
Berlin Cathedral, a baroque-style building, is located on Museum Island, along the Spree River, being one of the most important architectural landmarks of the German capital.
