Funeral procession and burial

Source: BArch RH 2/2288 (fol. 178) "After the coffin had already been transported by train from Kehl on 16 November 1925 with great public sympathy, it arrived at Potsdam station in Berlin on 18 November, where it was ceremoniously received and transported by car to the Gnadenkirche in Invalidenstraße with further great sympathy, where it was laid out for the numerous people passing by. On 20 November 1925, the funeral took place at the Invalidenfriedhof cemetery. After a short ceremony in the Gnadenkirche in the presence of Reich President von Hindenburg, Reich Chancellor Luther, Reich Defence Minister Dr Geßler, the Chief of the Army Command General Seeckt and the Chief of the Navy Command Admiral Zenker, the funeral procession moved on foot along Invalidenstraße to the cemetery.
