I came across this cemetery by accident. It has been a listed building since the 1970s, if I got that right.
Many graves and headstones are very old. The grave inscriptions are very different from today, and some seem to tell a (short) story.
Apart from that, it is a complex with special, beautiful plants. Very natural and on the other hand designed. I will go back here.

Cemetery of the former Illenau sanatorium and nursing home. Very old gravestones also of many well-known personalities from the time before the war.
