Eduard-Müller-Krematorium, Modern architecture crematorium in Delstern, Germany

The Eduard-Müller-Krematorium presents a cubic structure with a monumental design, featuring a forecourt supported by six pillars and a tower-shaped chimney.

Peter Behrens designed this structure in 1907, establishing the first crematorium in Prussia, which started operations after cremation legalization in 1911.

The interior hall exhibits an apse with gold mosaic crafted by Emil Rudolf Weiss, complemented by a gallery containing organs for memorial ceremonies.

The crematorium received a new farewell room in 2016, designed by architects Jutta Heinze and Giacomo Riggio for contemporary memorial services.

The facility created commemorative zero-euro notes with serial numbers XEQM 000001 to XEQM 005000, marking its position as the first German cemetery with this collectible.
