Hier ruht sanft ... und die Zeit rast weiter.
(Here lies in peace... and time marches on. #HistoryMeetsModern)

When Caroline Mensing was laid to rest at the Neustadt Cemetery in 1850, #Hannover was a different world. No cars, no concrete, no internet. Today, her headstone looks out upon the Conti Tower at the University of Hannover - a symbol of modernity that has itself grown old over the years, something she could never have imagined. A place of mourning has become a city park where life passes her by.

Inscription on the gravestone: Here sleeps peacefully our beloved sister Caroline Mensing, born on November 27, 1802, died on October 9, 1850.

Inschrift auf dem Grabstein: Hier ruht sanft unsere geliebte Schwester Caroline Mensing. Geboren am 27ten November 1802. Gestorben am 9ten October 1850.
