Accidental Death
Wunderlich's promising career was cut short by an accident while he was on a hunting vacation (his hobbies included hunting, guns, and fast cars). He fell from a stairway in a friend's country house in Oberderdingen near Maulbronn, and died in the University Clinic of Heidelberg just days before his 36th birthday. He is buried in Munich's Waldfriedhof cemetery.

Visit the soul in sleep,—that death is slumber,
And that its shapes the busy thoughts outnumber
Of those who wake and live.—”
