    From @sabinefenner8544
    The grave on which the Grim Reaper is located is already very old. Since the cemetery has been reaching the limits of its capacity for years, the option of a grave sponsorship was introduced for old graves whose useful life has expired. Interested people take over this and thus the care, may have their own relatives buried there. A stonemason family from Cologne felt the same way about this grave. Very important, in this family we talked about death even during our lifetime. And, it turns out, one of the sons wanted to be buried at the Grim Reaper's feet.
    ...and the little frog
    Sadly, this son was the victim of a tragic accident when he was just 11 years old. The family complied with his request and buried him here. There is a small frog on his tombstone, which has clearly made itself comfortable there. The boy's nickname was "little frog".... the little frog and the grim reaper.

    What an incredibly beautiful cemetery. The cloudiness, thunder and the gentle rain just add to it's character! It gives me a combination of sadness, mystery and fascination. The monuments are amazing!

  • @Alibi5ify

    I’m in awe. I’m so glad you carried on in the rain to take us on this trip! I hope you stay safe and healthy. Thank you from Illinois, USA where the cemeteries are newer but appear much older than those appearing in your videos. (This has been very eye opening for me, and I can’t stop watching.)

    This cemetery was utterly out of this world. I was mesmerized by almost every grave and headstone. I know it must have been brutal for you both but I loved that pouring rain. What a wonderful atmosphere! You truly outdid yourself! Touché! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    This is my very favorite walk ever. The sound of the rain, the thunder and the bird song... just amazing. Thanks for toughing it out. My family has a mausoleum and small cemetery plot in a tiny town on the prairie in mid-America. Its always been a comfort to know that I'll spend eternity with my ancestors.

    Hi Dan. This cemetary is beautiful in the rain so It must be even more beautiful on a sunny day. It's like a botanic garden full of monuments. My ancestors were vikings so I will be having my ashes taken out to sea also. No mess less fuss.

    Thankyou for taking us to this beautiful place. I think this is one your best explorations.
    If I can make a couple of suggestions?
    1) Rain gear. C’mon dude, you’re an explorer. One must be prepared!
    2) Stop wiping your camera lens on you pants! Get a good lens cleaning cloth. It won’t scratch the lens.
    3) Keep on exploring. I love your videos, and look forward to them.
    They are always interesting and never a disappointment.

    Wow, what a beautiful cemetery. It is more like a park. The rain added to the atmosphere and the birds singing… just perfect. Loved the statue of the grim reaper. Have you read the book entitled “The Book Thief” author Markus Zusak? The story is narrated by the Grim Reaper and takes place in Germany. Highly recommended.
