Friedrich Schiller died in 1805 and was buried in a common grave in Weimar. The mass grave was disinterred in 1826 to recover his skull, but it was not clear which of the 23 skulls belonged to Schiller. The mayor of Weimar selected the largest of the skulls, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe took it home and wrote a poem about it.
