The mummies in the lead cellar were accidentally discovered around 1698 by the journeymen of the organ builder Arp Schnitger, who had been assigned the east crypt as a workroom. The discovery of the mummies was a sensation at the time, as there was increasing interest in the natural sciences.

There are eight mummies from several centuries in the Bremen lead cellar. A scary story.
