Die Totenehrung

Die Totenehrung is a German tradition of honoring and remembering those who have passed away. It involves ceremonies, memorials, or moments of reflection to pay respect to the deceased, often on specific days such as All Souls' Day or national remembrance days. The practice emphasizes gratitude, recognition, and maintaining a connection with loved ones who are no longer alive. It’s a way for individuals and communities to acknowledge mortality, preserve history, and express collective reverence for those who contributed to their society or personal lives.
