Gazing at the Aussegnungshalle, have you ever considered its dual existence? It’s not just a solemn structure. The Aussegnungshalle is also a stage. It played the role of the fictional Villa Medici in the 1985 television series “Kir Royal”. The Aussegnungshalle sits within the Ostfriedhof, Munich’s Eastern Cemetery. This cemetery, established in 1821, holds a vast history within its 30 hectares. The Aussegnungshalle itself suffered damage during World War II. It was later rebuilt in a simplified style by Hans Döllgast in 1951 and 1952. Interestingly, the dome of the Aussegnungshalle boasts a remarkable size. With a diameter of 20 meters, it’s the third largest of its kind in Europe. It’s preceded only by the Pantheon in Rome and the Befreiungshalle in Kelheim. The Ostfriedhof isn’t just the resting place of ordinary citizens. It’s also the final home for numerous prominent figures. These include individuals like Carl Amery, Georg Brauchle, and Rudolf Brunnenmeier. The Aussegnungshalle stands as a silent witness to the ebb and flow of life. It serves as a reminder of both the grandeur of art and the weight of history.
