Editing Richard von Krafft-Ebing (section)

=== Later years in Graz ===
At the age of sixty-two, Krafft-Ebing retired for health reasons to Graz, to the [[Private clinic in Mariagrün]] he had created—after having previously celebrated his thirtieth anniversary as a university professor in Vienna; and just half a year after his retirement, multiple strokes ended his life on December 22, 1902. He was buried at the [[St. Leonhard Cemetery|St. Leonhard Cemetery in Graz]] and left behind his wife, two sons, and a daughter.

"He was an utterly noble nature," reads the obituary in the Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift, "toward his patients he was of touching kindness and friendliness. Nothing could disturb his calm; he possessed perfect self-control and proved himself equal to any situation. His tall figure, his firm stride, his calm gaze, his intellectual countenance had often a marvelous effect on the most agitated patients."
