These considerations refer to the images and symbolic functions of the cemetery in the urban space and in the intimate experience of the individual. The analysis of two short stories by Ruth Hoffmann (Lüge/The Lie) and Heinz Piontek (Bäume im Wind/The Trees in the Wind) was inspired by geopoetics as a research orientation which consider the interaction and mutual influence of literary works and geographical region. In both stories, the cemetery is a peculiar and significant landmark in urban space, where wandering takes the heroines back. It allows them to face psychological traumas, and, consequently, experience catharsis or inner change. A place per se dedicated to death becomes for both elderly women a place of hope and a symbol of new beginning.
