Besides architecture, nothing says so much about a city or country as a cemetery. Here you look at the history, the culture, the faith – yes almost a little into the soul of people. We enjoy the tranquility of cemeteries and were therefore thrilled to be able to discover the Central Cemetery in Vienna together with Gudrun from “Reisebloggerin<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n As in many European cities, the population growth in the mid-19th century also made itself felt in Vienna. The existing cemeteries were reaching the limits of their capacity, and in 1863 the Vienna City Council decided to build a central cemetery. This was to be located outside the city and planned to be large enough to be usable for an indefinite period of time. The decision was made in favor of a plot of land in Kaiserebersdorf and two plots in Simmering. In 1870, planning began for the design of the cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Viennese decree that in the future the city should be responsible for the burial places played a decisive role in the creation of the cemetery. An interdenominational cemetery could be created. Individual denominations were allocated certain areas, but free areas were also to be made available, where everyone could be buried regardless of their faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHistory of the origin of the Central Cemetery in Vienna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
