    The location of the old cemetery in Merten near Bornheim is unique and fantastically beautiful. The view extends far over the Cologne-Bonn Bay. A special place for final rest.

      Böll's grave is beautifully located, unusually designed and definitely worth a visit. Contemplative thoughts are guaranteed. Since it is not far from the (upper) cemetery entrance, you can lock your bike there and keep an eye on it.
      Unfortunately, Böll's former home, nearby on Martinstr. located, not particularly a feast for the eyes, because its owners seem to have other priorities. But the attentive person will easily be able to see it on the fence.
