Hietzinger cemetery
The Hietzing Cemetery , officially designated as a cemetery Hietzing, is the most famous cemetery in Hietzing , since 1892 the 13th Vienna district .
location
The cemetery is located on the southern edge of Alt-Hietzing , the central part of the district, in the vicinity of the Schönbrunn palace and park area , the former imperial summer residence.
The cemetery grounds are bordered by Maxingstrasse in the west and by Elisabethallee in the south. To the east of the cemetery, on the other side of Seckendorff-Gudent-Weg, are the former dairy of Empress Elisabeth in the southern part of the palace park, which has an entrance here, the residential complexes Fasangartensiedlung and an area belonging to the Maria-Theresien-Kaserne (formerly part of the Fasangarten) in the north the small Maxingpark , which adjoins the Tyrolean garden outside the wall of the castle park.
The main entrance is at Maxingstrasse 15. The cemetery covers an area of 97,175 square meters and houses 11,207 grave sites. According to other information, there were only 9,694 grave sites in 2013.
history
Old graveyard
Until 1786 Hietzing belonged to the parish of Penzing , the neighboring village on the other bank of the Wien River . The dead therefore had to be buried in the “Gottesacker zu Penzing”. Nevertheless, there was probably a cemetery in the area of Maxingstrasse 6 and Trauttmansdorffgasse 1 even before Hietzing was elevated to the status of a parish. Indications for this are the old cemetery cross from 1619 embedded in the front of the house at Maxingstrasse 6 and the note in the "Topography of Lower Austria" that the growth of the place in 1787 made the construction of a new cemetery on the Künigelberg necessary .
New cemetery
With the parish elevation of Hietzing, the new "Leichenhof" was built in the southwestern part of Hietzing and consecrated on February 12, 1787 by the dean Marcellin Jani of Klosterneuburg . Extensions took place in 1794, 1817 and 1835, with the cemetery being enclosed with a wall during the last extension. In 1861 the community of Hietzing took over the cemetery.
When the cemetery was expanded again in 1892, after the incorporation of Hietzing in 1890/1892 it was already owned by the Vienna city administration . It was intended as an interdenominational cemetery for the dead from Hietzing and Schönbrunn Palace . After the cemetery was expanded, a new morgue on Maxingstrasse with two morgues and an anteroom as well as an apartment for a guard was put into operation.
After several extensions around the turn of the century, the cemetery already comprised 26,129 square meters in 1905. In 1907 the cemetery was significantly expanded with a plot of land measuring 15,967 square meters. The new cemetery area was consecrated on January 4th, 1908. In 1913 the construction of a chapel and a morgue was completed. The existing properties, however, were converted into company apartments. The chapel was consecrated on May 25, 1914. Between 1918 and 1944 the cemetery was expanded four times. In the 1930s, the existing buildings were also converted and renovated.
In the last days of World War II, the cemetery chapel and the funeral hall were badly damaged. The restoration of the buildings could not be completed until 1947. The funeral hall was redesigned in 1952 and the chapel renovated in 1963. In addition, the cemetery was expanded again in the 1950s.
The old part of the cemetery in Biedermeier style was renovated in 1970. The funeral hall and chapel were also renovated and redesigned in the early 1970s according to plans by Erich Boltenstern . The administration buildings were also renovated. In 1979 the cemetery on the eastern edge was expanded for the last time. The last redesign of the laying out rooms took place from 1989 to 1991 according to plans by Christof Riccabona . The Rococo style , which was modeled in the laying out room no. 2 , was retained.
