The modalities for the establishment of the rest forest on the island Mainau are fixed by contract. The three contracting parties, the Mainau GmbH represented by count Björn Bernadotte, the company Mainau Ruhewald GmbH, represented by managing director Sabine Neufang and the head of the technical companies Konstanz, Herbert Munjak, signed the corresponding agreement on July 31, 2019. The official inauguration is scheduled for September 15.
For the construction of the natural cemetery, the city of Konstanz is provided by the Mainau GmbH as the owner of a forest area. For the tree burials, around 8.8 hectares are available here. An extension of the occupation area is possible if required.

In July 2019
With a rich gardening experience, over 70 European mini-gardeners from Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria completed their two-year training. From Constance, the Hegau, Heilbronn, Lindau, Vaihingen, Winnenden and even from Wiesentheid in Unterfranken, they came to the island of Mainau. Under the sun roof in the castle park, the children celebrated their graduation together with countess Bettina Bernadotte, team leaders and numerous guests.
Countess Bettina Bernadotte initiated in 2013 the project “Europa-Minigärtner” (EU Mini-Gardeners).

Yesterday was the inauguration of Mainau Ruhewald (Mainau Rest Forest)

Mainau Ruhewald opened
Lord Mayor Uli Burchardt and Count Björn Bernadotte from the island of Mainau opened Mainau Ruhewald on Sunday, 15 September, in front of around 160 guests. The forest is located next to the forest cemetery Litzelstetten.
The forest is a great way to come to. It offers protection, recreation and security, said Count Björn. "Therefore, we have chosen the following slogan: Secure in the cycle of nature." For him, it was a great pleasure to open the Mainau Ruhewald. He wished all visitors and mourners that they find here the security they are looking for. Count Björn thanked the city of Konstanz for the good cooperation.

The demand for tree burials is certainly given in Konstanz - as the city on Bodensee stated in a press release, are buried by the approximately 720 deaths a year on average 145 deceased in foreign burial forests. This means that every fifth citizen of Konstanz can be buried in the forest, and the trend is rising.
"That the public's interest is so great shows us that with our idea we have started a forest of peace, met the current spirit of the times and responded to an immediate need. I hope that in the future all relatives will find a place where they feel safe and can remember their loved ones", said Mainau Managing Director count Björn Bernadotte at the opening of the new Ruhewald.
More than a thousand resting places are initially available in the mixed deciduous forest, which consists of 90 per cent beech trees. As rest trees, according to media reports, but also several oaks, birches, maple and cherry trees can be selected. An extension of the occupation area is possible if necessary.

Countess Bettina Bernadotte and count Björn Bernadotte on the action in connection of the Climate Action Day.
On 20 September, the island of Mainau followed the call of the Fridays for Future Movement and carried out various climate protection actions on the island as part of a Climate Action Day. The aim was to sensitize both islanders and employees to the importance of being committed to climate protection and sustainability, and to show that each individual can make their contribution.
As part of the Climate Action Day, District Administrator Zeno Danner, Mainau Managing Director countess Bettina Bernadotte, Mainau Managing Director count Björn Bernadotte, Fridays for Future activist Jelena Anslik and other employees from different areas of the island have planted a Chinese horse chestnut tree set for climate protection.
All Mainau employees left their car behind and came to work by bike or bus. This set a sign for a climate-friendly journey to the island of Mainau.
All Mainau guests who have traveled climate-friendly by bicycle or public transport, ordered a vegetarian dish or bought "fair and tasty" fair trade or organic products in the shop.

"Gräfliches Schlossfest" in Mainau 3-6 October.
A popular highlight on the autumnal flower island is the "Gräfliches Schlossfest", in which the comital family Bernadotte traditionally opens the doors of the Mainau baroque castle, which was built in the 18th century. The high-quality sales event is again this year under the motto: "Fashion, jewelry and fine accessories". The coat of arms hall, the library, the historic castle corridors and salons offer exclusive exhibitors from decor to fashion a frame of extra class-
In the White Hall, the baroque ballroom of the castle, a varied and entertaining supporting program awaits you every day with stylish musical performances, historical fashion shows and the popular Hat Fashion Show with the latest creations from Countess Diana's Hutatelier.

For the 14th time the Comital Bernadotte family opens the gates of Mainau Castle on the occasion of the Countess Palace Festival. Visitors are invited to the otherwise inaccessible castle rooms where numerous exhibitors offer, among other things, handmade jewelery, extravagant fashion, culinary delights and exquisite home accessories in a historic ambience.
More about the fascinating life of the Russian Grand Duchess Maria Pawlowna, the mother of Mainau's founder count Lennart Bernadotte, will be read during the readings of author Gunna Wendt in the Red Salon.

Countess Marianne Bernadotte has been named as the first Honorary Member of Stadsbrudskåren.
Stadsbrudskåren was founded on 3rd February 1965 and countess Marianne is one of the founding members, she was member nr. 7. Stadsbrudskåren's purpose is to raise funds which are then donated to support vulnerable women and children in Stockholm.

Marianne Bernadotte has been a member of the Swedish royal family since 1961 when she married Prince Sigvard Bernadotte, King Gustaf VI Adolfs and Crown Princess Margareta's second oldest son. Marianne was an actress on Dramaten in her youth but left the theater when she married Sigvard. Today, she is a major philanthropist and most involved in issues related to research on children's eye diseases, dyslexia and most of the cultural world.
In 1998, Marianne Bernadotte was named honorary doctor of medicine at the Karolinska Institute for her work on dyslexia and children's eye diseases and in 2006 she became honorary doctor at the University of Bologna, acclaimed for her dedicated work in the dyslexia issue.

The Valentina Foundation at its website
As part of a wonderful party of the juniors Konstanz-Hegau on the island of Mainau, there was an encounter with count Björn Bernadotte and a pleasant conversation with exchange about the Valentina Foundation.
We would like to thank Count Björn for the warm-hearted conversation and his summary statement, which we reproduce in the following words:
"Never Give Up" - the idea behind the Valentina Foundation by Renate and Kurt Peter touches me a lot. When I met Renate and Kurt Peter, their fate for their deceased daughter Valentina moved me a lot. At the same time, however, I was deeply impressed by the positive attitude and the great enthusiasm of the Peter family. The Peter family took this difficult and very personal topic as an opportunity and managed to transform their deep grief into great motivation to help many other affected children and their families.
A support that is very important, because it allows many sufferers to spend their last phase of life at home, with the family.
I wish the Valentina Foundation many friends, sponsors and supporters, so that they can continue to grow. I wish you, dear Peter family, positive energy and all the best.
Björn Graf Bernadottes Statement zur Stiftung - Stiftung Valentina

The Peter family founded the Valentina Foundation in memory of their daughter Valentina, who was diagnosed at the age of 12 with a very aggressive bone tumor. The Foundation helps seriously ill children and their familiies.

Countess Marianne Bernadotte visited Christinaskolan school on 15th October.
Marianne Bernadotte, aunt of the King, has visited the children at Christinaskolan School.
The purpose was to see Lexplore, which with AI technology, reads eye movements and can detect dyslexia.
- It was very fun for her to see in practice what her research has contributed to, says Sophie Ekman, a school chief physician who invited Marianne Bernadotte to the school.
Founded research center
Marianne Bernadotte has a strong commitment to dyslexia and eye research. In 1990, she and her husband Sigvard Bernadotte founded an eye research center at St.Eriks Eye Hospital, which, among other things, researched the connection between dyslexia and eye movements.
The Lexplore tool, which is used at Christinaskolan and at several Lidingö schools, is a practical extension of this research.
- It was fun for Marianne to see it in reality. In addition, she loves children very much. The preschool children were in line to get her autograph, Sophie Ekman says.
Marianne Bernadotte told the children about her own upbringing and her little brother who had severe dyslexia but could not get the same help that exists today.
95-year-old Marianne Bernadotte, aunt of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Countess of Wisborg, has also had a long acting career.

The "New Mobility" is currently on everyone's lips. But what do young people want when it comes to mobility and what does mobility actually mean to meet the needs of children and young people? The Ministry of Transport Baden-Württemberg and the Lennart-Bernadotte Foundation discussed mobility concepts of the future in the context of the 22nd Mainauer Mobility Talk on Monday (21 October) together with children and young people as well as experts.
Count Björn Bernadotte, Member of the Board of the Lennart-Bernadotte Foundation and host of the event, is also proud of the 22nd edition of the event. "We are pleased to be able to look back on such a long history of the Mainau mobility talks in cooperation with the various ministries. It is always exciting to see how the conference with its theme setting meets the zeitgeist. I was particularly curious about what suggestions the invited young people have on mobility."

Nonetheless I think there will be public interest in her life and death, as she was in the public eye and in attendance at royal events for such a long time.
 
Dagmar had three siblings:
Count Nils Bernadotte af Wisborg (born 9 February 1918, died 21 April 1920)
Count Oscar "Oscis" Bernadotte af Wisborg (born 12 July 1921, died 3 November 2018)
Catharina Nilert (born 14 April 1926)

Dagmar married Nils-Magnus von Arbin in 1936. They got five daughters: Marianne, Louise, Cathrine, Jeanette and Madeleine.

An era is over in the Bernadotte family - and the royal family is coming to the funeral. The court confirms this to Svensk Damtidning.
On Tuesday, February 4, the royal family say farewell to the family Bernadotte's grand old lady Dagmar von Arbin. A carefully chosen date for members of the royal family to honor her memory.
- Yes, parts of the royal family will be present. But who of them, I will return to that, says Margareta Thorgren.
The funeral will take place at Oscarskyrkan at Östermalm in Stockholm and afterwards the family and relatives will gather for a memorial. The family writes in the obituary that they hope people will think (donate to) Radiumhennets Forskningsfonder (The Cancer Research Funds of Radiumhemmet).

Probably a nod to Dagmar von Arbin's daughter Marianne Flach who died in esophageal cancer in 2006.
 
Dagmar had three siblings:
Count Nils Bernadotte af Wisborg (born 9 February 1918, died 21 April 1920)
Count Oscar "Oscis" Bernadotte af Wisborg (born 12 July 1921, died 3 November 2018)
Catharina Nilert (born 14 April 1926)

And a half brother through her fathers 2:nd marriage, Count Claes Bernadotte af Wisborg, born 17 July 1942.
 
Dagmar von Arbin's funeral is on Tuesday 4th February.

According to the court, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia will attend, just like Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. Also Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia.
- The funeral is private. Those in the royal family who are in Sweden will attend, writes Margareta Thorgren in a text message.
Burial will take place at Oscarskyrkan at Östermalm in Stockholm.
King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia will hold a medal ceremony later that afternoon to "reward outstanding efforts for the good of society" at the Royal Palace.
According to the court, the king and the queen are to attend both the funeral and the medal ceremony.
- The royal couple plans to manage to do both, writes Margareta Thorgren in a text message.
