To the southwest of the Wielandgut in the park is the Wieland grave, in which Wieland's wife, Anna Dorothea, and Sophie Brentano are also buried.
When Wieland sold the estate, he secured his burial place on the Ilm from the parish. He was buried next to his wife Anna Dorothea and Sophie Brentano. The design of the tomb comes from Carl Bertuch, the three-sided obelisk (1807) from Carl Gottlieb Weisser with Wieland's distich and Masonic symbols (a butterfly for Sophie, two hands for Anna Dorothea and the winged lyre for himself), plus the cast iron fence ( 1829) by Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray. All of this highlights the square at the end of the Kastanienallee that begins at the estate:
Love and friendship embraced the kindred souls in life,
And their mortals are covered by this common stone.
Arno Schmidt described Wieland's grave as the most beautiful German poet's grave.
