Goethe and, to a lesser extent, Schiller (more about that soon) are interred at the Historischer Friedhof (Historical Cemetery) in this neoclassical mausoleum, along with Duke Carl August. The mausoleum dates from 1828 and houses almost 50 sarcophagi. Schiller’s, however, is empty today, after tests showed that his remains originated from several different people.
