    The Grim Reaper is one of the most famous characters in the Melatenfriedhof. He looks scary, symbolizes death, carries an hourglass and originally also a scythe. However, this has already been stolen several times.

    The grave is sponsored by the stonemason family Steinnus (stonemasons in Cologne since 1835).
