Guided Story
Imagine the sound of leaves rustling above you. These towering trees have witnessed stories from the imperial era. Look up and see how their branches create a canopy over you. Behind you is the Art Nouveau chapel, built in 1911, a true architectural gem. It often captures the curious gaze of visitors. If you listen closely, you might almost hear the footsteps of those who once walked these gravel paths. In spring, the cemetery bursts into a sea of colors, while winter brings a serene, almost magical stillness. You might even catch the distant ringing of the St. Matthäus church bells, just a short walk from here.
