Charles Luneburg, born in Brunswick on October 30, 1804, died in Geneva on August 18, 1873, appointed Geneva as his residuary legatee, being agreed that the city would erect a mausoleum on the model of the Scaliger tomb in Verona. Designed chiefly by Jean Franel, architect, this monument was finished in 1879. Originally there was a statue of Luneburg on a horse on the top of this monument, but it had to be taken down for safety reasons.
