Maximilian Harden's grave in Berlin
photo of grave September 2018
Harden is buried not far from where I live so I went to have a look. Since 2014 the grave is no longer a "grave of honour". They seem to be terminated when there is insufficient public interest, presumably an economy measure; the city is responsible for their upkeep.

The sarcophagus is Rochlitzer porphyry, a reddish tuff. Designed by Berlin sculptor Ludwig Isenbeck. I saw on a now-dead weblink that a bronze plaque in memory of his wife Selma has been removed or stolen.
