The Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia (EKBO) has admitted the burial of a Holocaust denier on the former grave of a scientist of Jewish descent in Stahnsdorf near Berlin and described it as a mistake.
"The burial of a Holocaust denier on the grave of Max Friedlaender is a terrible mistake," said Bishop Christian Stäblein on Tuesday.
Stahnsdorf - It is a shocking process "in view of our history".
Several media had previously reported about it.
According to the church, the man was buried last Friday in the south-west cemetery in Stahnsdorf on the former grave of the musicologist Max Friedlaender, who was a Protestant of Jewish origin.
The EKBO had made the decision not to refuse the request for a grave.
The first request for a grave was rejected by the cemetery management, but the selection of Friedlaender's former grave was also a mistake.
