When Duchess Louise, wife of Friedrich Franz I, died in 1808, it was her express wish not to be buried in Schwerin Cathedral or another representative place, but under one of her beloved old trees next to the Schweizerhaus.

It had to be like that, even if (at that time) it was against all convention. After two agonizing years, however, her widower decided to let the young builder Barca build a worthy mausoleum for his deceased wife. And on November 4, 1810, Louise was reburied in her mausoleum against her will, but in keeping with her status. When Friedrich Franz was the last to leave the mausoleum after the solemn ceremony, he is said to have called out to his dead wife, with great satisfaction: "Sure, Lowising, nu lift wi di beluert." ("You see, Louise, now we've outsmarted you after all.")

The duke couple had six children (after two stillbirths). Daughter Louise is buried in Gotha, daughter Charlotte in Rome. The Hereditary Prince Friedrich Ludwig lies with his three wives in the Helenen-Paulownen-Mausoleum. His three brothers (Gustav, Karl, Adolf), who remained unmarried for lack of money or interest, are here in the Louisen mausoleum with their mother.
