    Who would have expected Jürgen Ponto here? His memorial stone came as a surprise to me

    Established in 1619 as a plague cemetery, the chapel was added in 1744.

    Among others, the tomb of the Counts of Erbach-Fürstenau and that of Jürgen Ponto, former spokesman for the board of directors of Dresdner Bank and a victim of the Red Army Faction (RAF), is located here.
