The Bonhoeffer family - Klaus, Paula, and their eight children - first made their home in Poland, where Klaus and Paula met and where all the children were born. Later, when Karl received a prestigious appointment at Berlin University, they moved to Berlin, first into a relatively well-to-do Berlin neighborhood close to the University, then to the Grunewald district, and eventually to the Charlottenburg district, where Bonhoeffer maintained a room, where he was arrested, and where his parents listened to the broadcast of the memorial service. The Bonhoeffers' German houses were large and near to various members of their extended family. They were, as the author comments, "a genuinely happy family."
