Next to his beloved wife Helen (Weigel) Brecht, Bertolt Brecht is resting in this unassuming grave in the corner of a quiet cemetery in the centre of (Eastern) Berlin. I was walking this beautiful cemetery when accidentally came across his resting place. I was blown away when told, its really Brecht lying here: no memorial, no extravagant headstone... of course, he remained a life-long committed Marxist.
