Event Narrative

As the GDR wants to widen the death strip at the border to West Berlin and the von Richthofens' grave would be lost in the process, the von Richthofen family is allowed to transfer Manfred von Richthofen's mortal remains to the family grave at the Südfriedhof cemetery in Wiesbaden. Sister Ilse and brother Karl-Bolko rest there. Mother von Richthofen was also buried at the cemetery.
