The Hütteldorfer Friedhof is a cemetery in the 14th district of Penzing in Vienna .
location
The Hütteldorfer Friedhof is located in the south of the Penzing district in the western district of Hütteldorf , on the edge of the historic town, in the immediate vicinity of the western city limits of Vienna (Samptwandnergasse 6) given 1892–1938. It is located in a loosely built-up residential area with a high proportion of greenery north of Linzer Straße on the eastern slope of the 268 m high Bierhäuselberg. The cemetery covers an area of 49,510 m² and 4,652 grave sites.
history
Old graveyard
The Gothic Hütteldorfer parish church on the corner of Bergmillergasse / Stockhammerngasse (south of Linzer Strasse), mentioned in a document in 1356, was surrounded by a walled cemetery like all parish churches of that time. Around 1810 the cemetery was closed to new occupations. In 1887, when the old parish church was demolished, the old Hütteldorfer cemetery was also abandoned. Today there is an office building on the property.
Next to the cemetery there was a plague cemetery further west, far outside of the village at that time, which in 1713 received the corpses of the community members who had died from plague. It was located near a brick factory at Linzer Straße 460 and 462.
New cemetery
When the old cemetery was blocked in 1811, a new cemetery was created by the parish at the western end of Hütteldorf. (Extensions took place in 1875, 1895, 1954, 1965 and 1972.) In 1875 the cemetery was enclosed in the area of the main portal with a wall and on the other sides with planks.
In 1878 the parish ceded the cemetery to the community of Hütteldorf in the "comparison path". Just outside the cemetery was the gravedigger's apartment, to which a new mortuary was added in 1889. In 1891, in the course of the incorporation of the suburbs into Vienna , which came into effect on January 1, 1892, cemetery areas were formed and the new districts of Hütteldorf and Auhof (this without the part of the Auhof area in Hadersdorf-Weidlingau, which was incorporated in 1938 ) assigned to the Hütteldorfer cemetery. The fencing of the western and eastern cemetery border with a wall was implemented in the 1890s.
In 1895 the cemetery was expanded again, but in 1905 it only comprised a quarter of the current area. Since there was no expansion area available at the time, the Vienna City Council approved the construction of a forest cemetery in the community forest in the style of German cities such as Munich or Hamburg in 1907. The forest cemetery should be directly connected to the existing cemetery and be available to the entire city of Vienna. At the same time, a correspondingly large expansion area was to be added for the Hütteldorfer cemetery. The construction of the forest cemetery was approved in 1911, and the first construction work was carried out in 1912. However, the outbreak of World War I prevented the implementation of the planned measures. The population, suffering from a lack of fuel, began to clear the forests of the Bierhäuselberg and after the war built a wild settlement on the cleared area. In 1920 the cemetery staff was given a plot of land on the planned forest cemetery for the construction of a vegetable garden.
In the interwar period, the closure of the Hütteldorfer Friedhof was planned, as its surroundings had increasingly turned into a residential area. Therefore, the cemetery was initially not expanded again. Nevertheless, the cemetery at today's entrance to the cemetery was enlarged in 1928. In 1937 an altar was installed in this building, which was consecrated in 1938 with a cross and a bell. Various repair measures followed from 1948 to 1951, and new allocations were made possible in the older grave fields. After a new cemetery cross was erected in 1953, the cemetery was expanded in 1954. The last expansion of the cemetery took place in 1972, when the city was able to purchase land with an area of 23,446 m².
On July 3, 1967, a new funeral hall was dedicated. It was built according to the plans of the architect Josef Strelec, who at that time was a quasi “cemetery architect” for the city administration. The interior was designed by Erich Boltenstern . The mosaic in the apse was designed by Hermann Bauch . In 1973/74 the funeral hall was expanded according to Boltenstern plans; the winged altar is by Hans Robert Pippal .
