What would Cologne folk art be without the Millowitsch family, with its perhaps most prominent member, Willy (1909–1999)? The gravestone is deliberately very simple and bears only the family name. The names and dates of the family members buried here are legible on the three-tiered front border.

“Now, Lord, you are releasing your servant in peace, according to your word…” (Luke 2:29; the so-called “Song of Simeon”).

At the grave of a legend. There is nothing more to say.

Willy brought people a lot of joy and put happiness on their faces. He was a good psychologist and encouraged people even in sad times.
