💼 What the programme involves

At the Heiligensee cemetery, north-west of Berlin, you and your team will be helping with maintenance work on the graves of war victims. There are both German and non-German soldiers and civilians, for whom a war grave cemetery was created. Together with your team you'll be helping to mow and restore grassy areas and, amongst other things, cleaning gravestones and concrete frames. Besides this, you'll be repairing fencing surrounding one section of the cemetery. You will only be working 4 days per week, so will therefore have the opportunity to not only enjoy Berlin's wide range of free-time activities, but also to take advantage of walking tours related to this topic (culture, history, East-West Germany and Berlin...)

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying in the Berlin-Tegel castle. You'll cook your own meals together.

📍 About the location

The accommodation is near to the “Tegeler Fließ” nature reserve, therefore your group has many opportunities for outdoor games and walks. This is also true of the wider surrounding area, where you can easily reach both Mecklenburg and Rheinsburg lakes, the Spree forest and the Oder river, as well as many more beautiful landscapes. The city centre of Berlin is just 30 minutes away, so you'll receive a Cityticket to use on all public transport across Berlin for the duration of the camp.
