About
Friedrich Schiller was laid to rest in the Kassengewölbe Mausoleum in St. Jacob’s Cemetery in the middle of the night on 12 May 1805. In 1827 what were believed to be his remains were transferred to the Ducal Vault. Scientific analysis has revealed since then that the contents in Schiller’s casket belonged to several people. Consequently, his sarcophagus in the Ducal Vault is now empty.
