Summary: Not far from the center of Basel, near the border with Germany and close to the Rhine River, lies Switzerland’s biggest cemetery. The so-called Hörnli is a place of mourning and devotion, but also a sensitive and precisely cultivated garden. It is also located on a border in a metaphorical sense: it is a multicultural place that reflects our being together before and after death.
