Eckle said Berlin authorities told the museum the exhibit violates local laws stating deceased human remains must be buried.
Von Hagens' "Body Worlds" exhibit was previously displayed in Berlin in 2001, 2009 and 2011.
Eckle said von Hagens is appealing the decision.
Von Hagens announced in 2012 he is suffering from Parkinson's and has made arrangements to have his own body plastinated when he dies.
