"Where they rest: Famous gravesites in historic cemeteries in Germany"

Gravesite of the victims of the Holztorschule collapse
A piece of Mainz (mourning) history:

An audiovisual guidance system that uses visitors' smartphones or tablets to guide them to selected gravesites or monuments and provide them with interesting information about them:
when this exciting project was launched at the end of 2013, Mainz Main Cemetery was one of only 37 burial sites nationwide that were selected for it. So, it was a no-brainer for us to get involved. Researching, editing, and writing the texts was the easy part. The hard part was having to narrow it down to just 25 graves/monuments. After all, a walk through the Main Cemetery is like taking a trip through Mainz's history.


Also part of the app: the Alice sisters' tomb.

Nevertheless, we are convinced that we have found a good mix of cultural, political, economic, and scientific personalities and events.
