Der Invalidenfriedhof ist kein typischer Friedhof. Einst Teil einer der tödlichsten Grenzen der Welt - der berüchtigten Berliner Mauer - birgt dieser Friedhof viele unerzählte Geschichten unter seiner Oberfläche. Wir werden viele, interessante Ereignisse dieser Ecke Berlins erkunden, wie beispielsweise seine Rolle in den Kriegen, die Deutschland verändert haben. Heute mag er wie ein Ort für einen entspannenden Spaziergang entlang der Spree erscheinen, aber wenn man genauer hinsieht, sind die Spuren einer turbulenten Vergangenheit immer noch überall sichtbar.
