Background
“Phoenix” by Hedwig Hayoz-Häfeli is a work in bronze at the grave field for prematurely born children at the Schosshaldenfriedhof, Ostermundigenstrasse 116, in Bern. The year of creation is not recorded. At 16.8 hectares, the Schosshaldenfriedhof is the largest cemetery in the city. The cemetery opened in 1877 as a replacement for the Rosengarten and was extended several times afterwards. The painter Paul Klee is also buried here with his family.
