For any photo requests, please be aware, that under German law, families lease grave sites for a specific period of time, usually from 15 to 30 years. And, if a family is unable or unavailable to renew the lease, the grave’s contents are removed and the grave site reverts to state ownership and may be reused. The gravestone is usually handed over to surviving next of kin or discarded.

Therefore, I will probably not be able to comply to requests for gravesites older than 30 years.
