Eduard-Müller-Krematorium, Modern architecture crematorium in Delstern, Germany
The Eduard-Müller-Krematorium displays a cubic structure with monumental design, featuring a forecourt supported by six pillars and a tower-shaped chimney. The building presents itself as a compact, geometrically defined construction with clear architectural lines.
Peter Behrens designed the building in 1907, establishing the first crematorium in Prussia. Operations commenced following the legalization of cremation in 1911.
The interior hall features an apse with gold mosaic by Emil Rudolf Weiss and a gallery housing organs for memorial services. These elements create a dignified setting that reflects the place's role as a venue for remembrance.
The facility features a modern farewell room redesigned in 2016 by architects Jutta Heinze and Giacomo Riggio for contemporary memorial services. Visitors encounter a thoughtfully designed space accommodating different styles of memorial gatherings.
The facility created commemorative zero-euro notes with serial numbers XEQM 000001 through XEQM 005000. These collector items mark the site as the first German crematorium with this distinctive issuance.
