The "Tomb of the Unknown" has no military or martial significance. Rather, it is a rather small work of art by Prince Hermann von Pückler to commemorate a gruesome find in his park. The inscription on the cross, which has been restored to its original state, tells of this. It is difficult to read, but corresponds to the original from 1832: "The bones of the unknown, found in the nearby thicket, 2 feet underground on August 4, 1832. Buried here again after three times three days. The skeleton betrayed a strong young man, missing a skull that had been crushed by force, not a single tooth Requiescat in pace!” Lawn has been sown around the tomb and the original variety of flowers from the past will also be revived. However, spring still has to unfold further with rain and sun. The inscription on the cross tells us today about the prince's social relationship with the common people. Source:
