Guided Story
Can you hear the leaves rustling above you? These old trees have been silent witnesses to many stories. Look up and take in the architecture of the portal, crafted by Theodor Suhnel in the 1920s. It's a beautiful example of the era's design. As you walk down the main avenue, feel the tranquility that envelops the space. Behind you, the Forstbachtal offers a lush green backdrop, almost embracing the cemetery. In spring, you might hear birds happily chirping as they nest in the treetops. Pause for a moment, soak in the quiet, and let your thoughts wander to the stories of those who rest here.
