The most important grave in the park cemetery belongs to Duke George II of Saxony-Meiningen and his wife Helene von Heidburg.
Duke George II was a theater enthusiast and even directed and took care of the stage design of his court theater. The theater company "Meiniger" that he founded became famous throughout Europe and the orchestra also achieved great fame. Brahms was also very active in Meiningen and plays by famous people such as Schiller and Shakespeare were performed here.
