Guided Story

Imagine standing on ground that holds whispers of the past. Here, the air feels heavy with history. As you look at the timeworn headstones, you might wonder about the lives once lived here. This place was once part of a state institution for the poor, offering refuge to those in need. Take a moment to walk a little further. If you look behind you, you might catch a glimpse of the Jakobuskirche in the distance, a reminder of hope amidst hardship. Wandering this path is like having a quiet conversation with history.
