The lawn of the anonymous urn grove set up in 1975 extends in front of the Riedemann mausoleum. In the foreground you can see part of the round arch designed by Klaus Bösselmann with the symbolized life theme "Becoming, Being, Decaying".
It's hard to believe that 15,000 urns were buried here within 15 years.

Klaus Bösselmann made the gate in 1980. It symbolically expresses the life theme of "becoming, being, passing away".
