Since 1881, the city cemetery has served as the final resting place for the citizens of Göttingen. The author guides readers through the cemetery park, providing insights into the lives of prominent figures and Nobel laureates from the city through their graves, as well as their relationships with Göttingen and with each other. In this way, Rudolf von Jhering, Max Born, Otto Hahn, Georg Merkel, Wilhelm Weber, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Max Planck, and others come to life for the reader and for one another. Through these biographies, Heidemarie Frank creates a panorama of the university city that offers both local and visiting readers an impressive view.
