If you follow the small circular path, you come to the new mausoleum, here is also a large, beautiful sequoia.

The New Mausoleum, not far from the Old Mausoleum, had Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig built as a burial place for his parents. The mausoleum, designed in neo-Romanesque style, was built between 1905 and 1910 according to plans by the architect Karl Hofmann, who was known to the Grand Duke as a professor at the Technical University and an employee in the state building administration. After completion, the coffins of all grand dukes and their family members were transferred from the princely crypt of the Darmstadt city church to the Rosenhöhe and a new installation was carried out. Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig had his parents and siblings reburied in the New Mausoleum, and the coffins of the former rulers of the Grand Duchy and their family members were brought to the Old Mausoleum. The coffins of the Hessian landgraves and their family members remained in the princely crypt of the city church.
The New Mausoleum is the burial place of the parents of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig (Grand Duke Ludwig IV (1837–1892) and Grand Duchess Alice (1843–1878)) and his siblings (Prince Friedrich (1870–1873) and Princess Marie (1874–1878)) .
