One of the Deaths at the Berlin Wall.
Dorit Schmiel was shot dead on February 19, 1962 during an escape attempt at Wilhelmsruher Damm at the sector border between Berlin-Pankow and Berlin-Reinickendorf.
Dorit Schmiel was buried on March 2, 1962, in the cemetery known today as "Friedhof Pankow III", in Niederschönhausen. Like Friedhof Pankow VII, where the deadly escape attempt took place, Friedhof Pankow III is also on the border to Reinickendorf. Supplementary forces of the People's Police virtually sealed off the funeral, preventing the participation of many mourners from Niederschönhausen. As of 2012, her grave no longer exists.
