Paul von Hindenburg (1934)? Just a guess.

I kind of doubt it, based on the other pictures.

Here are a couple of pictures from my collection, showing the award pillows at the Hindenburg funeral. Notice that one of them bears his Field Marshal's baton.
Also, those of you who are helmet experts might want to zero in on the helmets worn by the pillow bearers. Both look like early style, but I think there may be slight differences in the helmets worn at the two funerals.

Alexander von Kluck is not buried in Berlin. His grave is still located at Stahnsdorf Südwestkirchhof. And it looks like it is on the second pic from the funeral......but...

Hello,
I found the place and visited last week. So I know whose funeral is it. In case someone can give me an email I can send pics where you can see the building which is in the pic with the decoration pillow. I know place and gravesite . Its a grave from a Pour le merite winner. I can send pics but I can`t post them by myself. So if anyone is interested in the pics to post just let me know.
Best
Werner

funeral

It i the funeral of Reich President Paul von Hindenburg

[Uli]

No its NOT funeral of Hindenburg. Its the funeral of PLM Winner Wilhelm Groener . The funeral is on the Südwestkirchhof in Stahnsdorf near Berlin. The grave is still there. I made pics where you can see the small building on the second pic. Sorry cant post here. But that the facts its Wilhelm Groener funeral

It can't be Groener's funeral:

It's not just that the uniforms don't match what would have been worn in 1939, but Groener had fallen from grace and all active military personnel were prohibited from participating in his funeral.

According to this website this is Alexandre von Kluck funeral in the city of Stahnsdorf, october 1934.
