A short walk along 1st Molostrasse on the south bank leads to the Cemetery of the Nameless, founded in 1840 and named after the nameless victims of the Danube that the river released there. It was located outside the flood protection dam and was not moved to its current location until 1900. The cemetery area with its 1933-1935 built cylindrical chapel of resurrection is next to the artificially created "Blue Water" surrounded by a dense alluvial forest, a place of leisure.

The Cemetery of the Nameless is not easy to find. Only a few signs along the way point to this place at river kilometer 1,918 in the middle of Alberner Hafen. Up until 1939, a whirlpool caught not only rotten driftwood but also around 600 corpses.
This cemetery is the only burial ground in the world reserved exclusively for the victims of a river. Until 1940, victims of murder, accident victims and victims of unsolved criminal cases found their final resting place here. These were mostly unknown dead that washed up here and were buried right away.
