Tomb of Heinz Erhardt and his wife Gilda on the Hamburg Cemetery Ohlsdorf.
B is egg an apologist of modern brick building, it almost surprising that the tomb is not made of red bricks - that would have been only natural, especially given the fact that not only semi-Hamburg is dominated by that Schumacher's brick modernism (the absolute advantage of the city ), but even the cemetery where he rests, not escaped unscathed. Both the crematorium at the cemetery and the chapel Ohlsdorfer 13 that is built to his designs. Not least because of a skirted clinkers grave stone would have been appropriate?
Just in time for the Nazis seized power, Schumacher was forced to retire as chief architect of the city of Hamburg. Then he had the dubious pleasure of many of the buildings he designed in the bombing inflicted by the Nazis to see go under the Allies. That after the war he moved his residence from Hamburg to Lüneburg and Hamburg until his death in 1947, barely visited does not, therefore, just wonderful. We can be thankful that it has outlasted some of its monuments to war and leave the post-war Hamburg seem a lot less dull.
T his group of granite boulders found on the tomb of the family of Albert Ballin. The largest boulder form bronze letters Albert Ballin's name, while others carry the boulders and pebbles in-depth name inscriptions. Albert Ballin, Director General of the Hamburg-American Packet Transit Actiengesellschaft (Hapag) - once the largest shipping company in the world - began in November 1918, his life with poison to an end after he had gone through the consequences of the First World War, his life's work to pieces go see .
Boulders were in the 19 Century until the early thirties of the 20th Century as a typical German form of tomb was erected, and especially after World War II in military cemeteries. The sculptor Caesar Scharff have to use this trend, oversized stones on the nature of the ancient Germans, criticized. in 1934, adopted Tomb provisions would have the list banned by boulders. expected this a little strange, because you might well have assumed that 1934 as a regulation adopted would rather go there, boulders to require a "real German grave form." Finally, the Nazis insisted on a "German gabled form" when building a house, how in Victor Klemperer's diaries in an entry can just read from the year 1934. Flat roofs, as planned by Klemperer, "as un-German", as cited Klemperer justification of Nazi authority. in Victor Klemperer's LTI there is an observation that shows that when the Nazis in the area of birth and death notices that tendency towards Germanize went. Sun had given way to many ads, the usual asterisks to indicate the date of birth Lebensrune.
Two things seem to Albert Ballin's tomb still worth mentioning. Firstly, the choice of this apparently as a "Germanic" respectable grave form that Ballin less than a German Jew rather than as a German patriot, felt that he was without a doubt. Used it has to end, however no German Jews who have sacrificed themselves for their homeland, the German Reich. It was not thanked them, apart from the temporary equality by 1871 and other marginal rights that were under the Nazis came millions of feet. In addition, but also says the location of the tomb of a little over Ballin's religious self-understanding. The fact that Ballin's grave is not on the separate Jewish cemetery opened in 1883 in Ohlsdorf is, but just on the big Ohlsdorf cemetery, shows him as an assimilated Jew. Ballin had been ousted long ago and his Jewish heritage was German faithful, loyal to the Emperor and German national was perfectly normal as many of his Christian fellow-citizens, so what really seems strange after the experience of Nazi rule and the Holocaust, but still. So it is only fair that Jews were also set "Germanic" erratic, even if Ballin is probably turning in his grave if he knew what they perpetrated in the name of his beloved German Reich. In a review of the book "Albert Ballin - The owner of the Emperor" by Eberhard Otto Koehler Straub makes an interesting observation in this regard . Due to the fact namely that Ballin in large measure Jews who fled from the regular pogroms of Russia to Germany, helped to affordable passage to America, he was ultimately a share of it, that "the name of Germany working liquidators failed, the to annihilate world Jewry. '"This would certainly be a comforting thought for Ballin.

N ot just a tomb, where one is tempted to call it unpretentious - it is always nice. So you have to move "just" someone like Heine and even those left behind can finance such a temple.
Heine commented on the way, his publisher as follows:
"The Republic was never Hamburg / As big as Venice and Florence, / But Hamburg has better oysters; Dine / Best in the basement of Lawrence. / / It was a beautiful evening, when I / I betook with camping; / schlampampen We wanted each other there / In the Rhine wine and oysters. [...] I ate and drank with good App'tit, / And thought in my mind: / 'The Campe is truly a great man, / Is all publishers bloom. / A of other publishers would have / might be starving, / The drink, however, gives me even, / Will never leave him. / / I would like to thank the creator in the sky ', / The juice of these grapes / He created, and a publisher to me / The Julius Campe given!' "
The tower-like rotunda is located at the Hamburg main cemetery was created in 1915 by Ohlsdorf and Alexander Rudeloff of limestone and bronze. The dome sits on dorisierenden columns.
