Ashes

Here lie the ashes of Heinrich, heir apparent to the County of Saarbrücken, who died in a riding accident in 1797, aged 29. In his will, he asked that his remains be brought to the family palace on Halberg Hill, Saarbrücken. In 1976, this wish was fulfilled.

Willi Graf - 1918-1943

Willi Graf was raised in Saarbrücken. As a schoolboy and student, he was a member of the anti-Nazi resistance movement, playing an active role in the White Rose resistance group. He was arrested twice. At the second time, he was executed. Since then, he has become a fine example of civil courage and seven schools have been named after him, including the Willi Graf Gymnasium in Saarbrücken.
