Von Richthofen famously flew a red Fokker Tri-plane in which he made 80 aerial kills during the First World War. He became the leading fighter pilot of his age in the fledgling "art" of aerial combat, the ace of aces. Recent forensic study indicates he was killed by an Australian soldier's rifle shot during a low-level dog fight. Von Richthofen is buried here along with other family members, relocated from Berlin. As a result of de-emphasizing Germany's militaristic history, many locals do not know of von Richthofen's presence in their community. Enter the Sudfriedhof ("Southern") Cemetery on Siegfriedring Strasse. After you enter under the arches turn right on the gravel path. Just past the buildings on the right there is a semi-circular gravel path that enters the Westhain Section. Follow the path counter-clockwise about 40 yards (35 m) to the most northwestern point on the semi-circle (there is a map on the wall under the arched cemetery entrance, although the von Richthofen family graves are not marked on it). Manfred, Lothar, and other family members rest on the left side of the path, commemorated with a large stone family marker and individual stone markers in the ground. Manfred and Lothar both received the highest German military honor of its time: the order "pour le Mérite".
