Direction
After leaving the railway station, follow Friedrich-Ebert-Straße. The road leads past the rose garden and the old cemetery. There is a suitcase memorial at the rose garden. It commemorates the 204 Jewish citizens of Kitzingen who were murdered in extermination camps during the Nazi regime.
The old Kitzingen cemetery was established in 1542 because the original "Gottesacker" was no longer sufficient. Even today, there are richly decorated graves from the 18th and 19th centuries. For years, the baroque grave of the Herold family repeatedly inspired young people to test their courage. A local myth claims that the tomb harbours the coffin and remains of Count Dracula. The tomb is strikingly decorated with motifs of death.
In front of you, you can already see the Falterturm with its leaning spire.
