This unusual, oddly touching cemetery monument is in the Melatenfriedhof in Köln, Deutschland. I'll tell you what the words say in German first, then English:
Hier ruht in Frieden
August Broichenschüt
August Broichenschüt
1822 - 1874
Die meiste Zeit seines Lebens
verbrachte er in eine Kneipe
neben diesem neoklassiztischen
Saulenofen worauf der Wirt diese
Denkmal errichte
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Here rests in peace
August Broichenschütz
1822 - 1874
Who spent most of his life
in a tavern next to this neoclassical
column stove, which is why the owner of the tavern
erected this monument
