Summary: | Christian burial grounds of the middle ages - according to that tenacious, theoretically influential compound of older ethnology and folklore - served as a place of banishment for the dead, and the wall around them - as a seal. This essay shows, on the basis of historical review and comparison and using Berlin as an example, that the act of surrounding with walls is a recent, as a rule modern phenomena. Viewing mainly from the perspective of cultural history allows insight into the status of burial grounds and puts the question of their religious implications into a different frame of reference. |
