Berlin’s white-blue plaques commemorate a link between a certain location and a notable person or an event. The current scheme was founded in 1987, in the run-up to the 750th anniversary of Berlin. The plates are designed by Wieland Schütz and manufactured at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory (KPM). The white-blue plaques are financed from private resource while the Berlin Historical Commission acts as scientific advisory council of the programm.
In this year’s advent riddle we are looking for the name of a person, whose memorial plaque you find on top of this page in form of a jigsaw puzzle. By clicking the pieces of the puzzle next to the missing one you can change the order of the jigsaw pieces.
