Korneuburg cemetery
The Korneuburg cemetery is located in the municipality of Korneuburg in the Korneuburg district in Lower Austria . The cemetery consists of a Christian section, a Jewish section and a military cemetery, the so-called "Heroes Cemetery". All three sections are under monument protection .
history
On the basis of a decree by Emperor Josef II, the cemetery around the parish church was closed in 1785 and moved to the Muckenauer Feld to the Johannes Chapel. Entombments have been carried out there since 1639. In 1889, as part of the first expansion, it became a non-denominational communal cemetery. In 1891 the access building and the semicircular arcade to the cemetery were erected and the pictures of the abandoned Stations of the Cross in front of the Stockerauer Tor, painted by Alois Stoff and copied by Joseph von Führich , were moved here. In the cemetery there is a gold-plated iron cross, made from Gußwerker ore from 1830.
Military cemetery
In the years 1915 to 1917, the military cemetery complex, along with a chapel and an obelisk, were created as a memorial in an extension.
Jewish department
The Israelite department has existed since 1915. It is separated from the local cemetery by horticultural interventions. In the cemetery, which is looked after by the local cemetery administration, there are nine tombstones and twelve tombstones that were donated by the Chewra Kadisha. This section of the cemetery was occupied from 1918 to 1959. Since 1980 it is considered a memorial.
