The Crematorium Baumschulenweg, designed by Shultes Frank Architeckten is a place inspired by the ancient tombs – built from stone and in all areas, excessively flowing with a lot of daylight. It is a tranquil resting place for the dead.

The building is consistent with the materials, which feature grave stone, and just one other color to create contrast: blue. Blue is calm. It is a color capable of comforting the grieved ones, while at the same time peacefully sending the departed on their way. It is a building that glorifies the nature of death, with silent walls in light.
