Mausoleum, Renaissance mausoleum in Dessau, Germany.
The mausoleum features a Greek cross layout with a central dome measuring 14 meters in diameter and reaching a height of 43 meters.
Built between 1894 and 1898 by architect Franz Heinrich Schwechten, the mausoleum served as the burial site for the Dukes of Anhalt until 1958.
The structure represents the architectural preferences of German nobility, combining Renaissance style with Romanesque elements in its crypt design.
The mausoleum stands next to the Tierpark zoo and Georgium Palace park, with regular cultural events held Thursday through Saturday.
Hugo Junkers installed a gas heating system in 1897, marking an early integration of modern technology in memorial architecture.
