Ernst von Malortie's tomb
Ernst von Malortie's tomb in Hanover is a work by the sculptor Carl Dopmeyer from 1886. The location of the listed tomb for the Oberhofmarschall and last leading minister of the Kingdom of Hanover , Oberhofmarschall Ernst von Malortie , is the Herrenhausen Cemetery on Kiepertstrasse in Hanover-Herrenhausen .
history
The sculptor Carl Dopmeyer had already progressed with the work for the Malorties tomb, in which the Oberhofmarschall was significantly involved, as early as 1886, a year before the death of the minister, who died on October 11, 1887. This is shown by the - misspelled - inscription “C. DOPPMEYER 1886 FEC ”(double“ P ”) on the pedestal of one of the two page figures .
Tomb was prepared from a -ton block of sandstone generated, at the foot end a relief - medallion with the portrait of the baron was incorporated by Malortie. Originally the grave was enclosed with an iron fence , which was later removed from the sandstone base.
Around August 20, 1995, one of the two page figures was stolen. The theft , in which a mounted on the back of the tomb crest was canceled, was immediately to the police station in stocks reported that the relevant state police informed as a memo from the time occupied .
The remaining page figure of the monument in need of restoration already received a new grave plaque made of sandstone with the life data of the deceased. Bizarre : The inscription with the name of “Ernst Baron v. Malortie Oberhofmarschall ”, mistakes have occurred again: The date of birth is given as“ 5. ”instead of October 15 , 1804, and the date of death is 1884 instead of 1887.
Restoration of the tomb in 2012
In 2012 the tomb was restored on the initiative of Gitta Kirchhefer . The work was financed , among other things, by funds from the Hanover Monastery Chamber. During the festivities for the presentation of the restored grave site on September 16, 2012, her “... walk across the mansion cemetery” also appeared.
