BERLIN - NOVEMBER 2016
In search of closure

It was in the beginning of 2016 and Rolf started to make plans to return to Berlin at the end of the year. He suggested to Patricia to invite his daughter Elizabeth to join them in Munich, which was their first stop, and come to Berlin with them.

​When she had come to Berlin in 2011 to see him in the Hospital, there was precious little time after his release to show her the city and what life was like during the early years of his life.

Our home away from home in Berlin. The Condo is located on the left ground level, or as the Germans call it "Erdgeschoss". That level used to be reserved for the servants and utilities. I lived on that level in the old mansion I grew up in, just a short five minute walk from here.

These beautiful old Villas in Schlachtensee are a typical example of the large mansions dotting the area.

Matterhorn Strasse 65 was Rolf's home from 1951 to 1960. The old Mansion was replaced in 1962 by Franz with a modern structure, designed to be ultimately turned into an Apartment Building. After her husband died in 1984, she was the only resident until her death in 1997.
