He wanted it that way, apparently.
From Wiki: In his will he provided instructions that a stiletto be placed in his heart and that he be buried in a steel coffin so that his corpse could not be eaten by worms[citation needed]. He is buried in the Dorotheenstädtischer Friedhof on Chausseestraße in the Mitte neighborhood of Berlin.
