Berlin 2021: Marlene Dietrich honorary grave of the state of Berlin. The inscription reads "Hier steh ich an den Marken meiner Tage" (literally: "Here I am standing at the border stones of my days")

Germany's first actress to hit the big time in Hollywood, Marlene Dietrich was born in Schöneberg in 1901. In 1992 the 'Blue Angel' moved into her final home in a humble plot on a tiny cemetary prosaically called Städtischer Friedhof III. She's buried in section 34 – look for the map inside the cemetery entrance to locate the grave.

In 2004 avant-garde fashion photographer Helmut Newton was buried four plots away from the grand dame.
