Christoph Lindenberg, in his biography of Steiner states that Steiner, on his deathbed (that is, on the night he died) said nothing in the way of “last words” only a few “nice things” to Ita Wegman before closing his eyes, folding his hands and passing, in what seemed to those present a conscious manner.
Present were Ita Wegman and Ludwig Noll, and Guenther Wachsmuth. It was about 5 AM, Monday, March 30th, 1925. Wegman described the passing as something that seemed decided only in the final moments.
Just the day before Steiner was making plans to work on his sculpture “the representative of man” the following day.
Though mostly bedridden for the previous six months, Steiner remained quite optimistic about overcoming his illness, read quite a bit, wrote a number of articles, and did work on the plans for the second Goetheanum. His passing struck many as quite unexpected.
