The final ducal grave chapel in the Bad Doberan Münster is also the newest: Duke Johann Albrecht II (died post-German revolution in 1920) and his wife Elizabeth (1908). This chapel was painted in the neo-gothic style in the late 19th century but the graves are inspired by the Byzantium style of Ravenna which was very popular in Germany during the Kaiserreich period. (See amongst others the Schaumburg-Lippe Mausoleum in Bückeburg and even the restoration of the Kaiserdom in Aachen.)
