Graveyard in the woods: Stone markers inspected

The Kapeller Weg municipal forest cemetery is set to undergo a mandatory yearly stability inspection of its gravestones on Thursday, September 11. The cemetery administration, responsible for the management of this historic site, has commissioned a specialized company in the stonemasonry and sculpture trade to perform the inspection.

The purpose of the inspection is to ensure the safety and integrity of the gravestones, with a focus on identifying any immediate dangers. Affected gravestones will be carefully placed on the grave site until repairs are made. The holders of affected graves will be notified in writing if gravestones are found unstable.

The company conducting the inspection has been instructed to exercise caution when entering grave sites to minimize disturbance. While unavoidable footprints may be left on grave sites during the inspection, every effort will be made to maintain respect and sensitivity towards the deceased and their families.

Repairs of identified defects on gravestones will be done in an orderly manner, with the aim of preserving the historical and cultural significance of the cemetery. The cemetery administration manages a website where visitors can find more information about the cemetery, including its history and upcoming events.

The city administration has emphasized the importance of this annual event, stating that the safety and well-being of visitors and the preservation of the cemetery's historical integrity are top priorities. The search results do not currently contain information about the name of the company commissioned by the city administration to conduct the inspection this year.

Visitors are encouraged to respect the ongoing inspection and any signage or barriers that may be in place. The cemetery administration thanks the public for their understanding and cooperation during this important process.
