Just inside the gate (on the right) is the tomb of Dominic Quaglio, who painted the Ro-
mantic scenes decorating the walls of Hohenschwangau Castle in 1835. Over on the old city
wall is the World War I memorial, listing all the names of men from this small town killed
in that devastating conflict (along with each one's rank and place of death). A bit to the
right, also along the old wall, is a statue of the hand of God holding a fetus—a place to re-
member babies who died before being born. And in the corner, farther to the right, are the
simple wooden crosses of Franciscans who lived just over the wall in the monastery. Note
the fine tomb art from many ages collected here, and the loving care this community gives
its cemetery.
