Berlin - Berlin Cathedral/Berliner Dom - Crypt

The crypt in the basement of the Berlin Cathedral - that can be traced as far back as 1536 - is considered one of the mose improtant sepulchers in Europe. The Berlin Cathedral houses 100 toumb and monuments belonging to the Hohenzollern family, a dynasty that influenced the fortunes of Brandenburg-Prussia but also played a significant role on the European stage. Nine Hohenzollerns were Prussin kings, and three were German Kiasers.
