    The three neo-Gothic gravestones mark the graves of the brothers Caspar, Friedrich and August Engels and their wives.
    Friedrich Engels (sen.) was a wealthy textile manufacturer in Barmen and father of the philosopher and Karl Marx comrade-in-arms Friedrich Engels. However, he was not buried next to his father; the urn containing his ashes was sunk in the North Sea off the coast of England in accordance with his wishes.
