DE: Am Grabmal der Familie Weiser auf dem Kölner Südfriedhof befindet sich das Mosaik eines schwebenden Engels vor goldenem Hintergrund, der Rosen verstreut. Diese Darstellung ist vermutlich einer Szene von Goethes Werk "Faust II" entlehnt, in der Rosen streuende Engel die Höllengeister mit Balsam versendenden Rosen aufhalten und somit aussagen, dass Liebe über Hölle und Hass siegt (Faust II, S. 326 ff. (WikiSource, deutsch)).

Das Mosaik ist etwa einen Meter hoch und etwa 60cm breit. Besucht werden kann der Friedhof von 8 bis 17 Uhr im Winter und von 7 bis 20 Uhr im Sommer.


EN: At the grave of the Weiser family in Cologne's southern cemetery there is a mosaic of a floating angel against a golden background scattering roses. This representation is presumably borrowed from a scene from Goethe's work "Faust II", in which angels scattering roses hold back the spirits of hell with balm-sending roses and thus state that love triumphs over hell and hate (Faust II, p. 326 ff. (WikiSource, German)).

The mosaic is about one meter high and about 60cm wide. The cemetery can be visited from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in winter and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in summer.

Specific visit requirements:
The cemetery can be visited from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in winter and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in summer.
