A new burial area for lesbians only is due to be inaugurated in a 200-year-old cemetery in the German capital.
A 4,300 sq ft area of the Lutheran Georgen Parochial cemetery, established in 1814 in central Berlin, will be reserved as a graveyard for up to 80 lesbians, Safia association spokeswoman Usah Zachau said.
The association, a national group primarily for elderly lesbians, said it expects the burial area to be inaugurated on Sunday as a space "where the lesbian community can live together in the after life".
