Taking the turnoff from the Berlin-Hannover Autobahn, one follows the signs to Burg. The town itself used to be quite run down, but is filled with older architecture that the Communist government didn't get around to knocking down and replacing with the typical characterless prefab concrete panel monstrosities which scar much of eastern Germany. It seems to have brightened lately. Many of the original pre-World War II German Army barracks--Burg was the home of the 304th Artillery Brigade of the Soviet 3rd Shock Army during the Cold War--appear to be in relatively good shape from the outside. A Bundeswehr installation, known as the Clausewitz Kaserne, is also there. Once inside Burg, follow the signs to the city of Genthin on Highway 1. Just outside the city limits on the left hand side of the road is Friedhof Burg. (Note that some maps show a military cemetery in the area on a different road, but this is not the correct location of the gravesite.)  Across the road is a large landfill. Thomas and Alex report that "finding the landfill is the key, although it is pretty difficult to miss. Although we walked from the station (taking about an hour) we believe that there are two buses that run to the cemetery from the station, numbers 3 and 45. The cemetery itself is almost invisible from the road, with only a parking lot in view. Once through the main entrance, one should veer right and then take a first left down a gravel road bordered by trees. The Chapel will come into view after a couple of minutes walking. Located directly behind the chapel is Clausewitz's grave, at Google Earth coordinates 52°16’40.57”N, 11°53’40.57”E. Turn right before the chapel--the path to the tomb will beon the left. There has been quite an improvement in the standards of upkeep of the tomb. There is a paved space with two benches and flowerbeds, and a large stone cross with the words,

Note that this name differs from that generally given by scholars for Clausewitz, "Carl Phillip Gottlieb von Clausewitz." At the foot of the cross is a large marble slab that marks the grave of Marie Sophie, his wife.  He is evidently buried beneath her.  The gravesite is well maintained and surrounded on three sides by evergreen trees.
