Memorial site of the anatomy station
The anatomy group is situated along a wall to the Protestant cemetery.
The first funeral on this almost 4.400 m² large meadow-like area took place in 1975. The remains of more than 17.000 persons, who donated their bodies to the cause of science, lie here. Until 1999 they were buried in coffins. Since then, there are circular containers set into the ground in which they are cremated. The architect, Christof Riccabona, designed for this purpose an octagonal area made of brick-red walls of various heights.
A nameplate is provided for each of those buried here. These uniformly designed plates may be ordered from the cemetery administration.
