history
After the Austrian Northwest Railway connected Jedlesee with Vienna in 1872 , the community's cemetery soon became too small due to the influx of new residents. It was first used in 1797 and was located between Jeneweingasse and Wienergasse, but could not be expanded after 1828. Therefore, the community had a new cemetery built and for this purpose bought a plot of land with a size of 2,000 square fathoms in the Schwarzlackenau from Klosterneuburg Abbey in 1873 for 1300 guilders . The stone cross of the cemetery with a massive, heavily gilded Christ was donated by Karl Michtner. The cemetery was fenced in on the front with a wall and on the other sides with stakes. On October 30, 1873, the cemetery was consecrated by Prelate Berthold Fröschl; the first burial began in January 1874. As a result, the old cemetery was closed in 1873.
After Jedlesee was added to the Floridsdorf community in 1894, a piece of land on Gerasdorfer Bezirksstrasse was purchased in 1901 for the construction of the Floridsdorfer Central Cemetery . The cemetery was opened in 1903 and the local cemeteries in Jedlesee, Floridsdorf and Donaufeld were subsequently closed. The last burial in Jedlesee took place in May 1903. After Floridsdorf had been incorporated into Vienna in 1904, the Vienna City Council decided in 1907 to reopen the Jedleseer Friedhof. For the time being, burials were only allowed on the previously unused part, the mortuary chamber was only used for corpses with infections. After the cemetery was expanded between 1914 and 1919 along the adjoining emergency hospital, the city council decided to re-occupy parts of the cemetery. From 1922, new grave sites were created in the expansion area and the picket fence was replaced by wooden planks. In 1926 the cemetery received a new mortuary. In addition, the cemetery was enlarged again in 1923 and 1931.
After the Second World War , renovation and repair work was carried out on the Jedleseer Friedhof, and the mortuary was also equipped with a cemetery altar. The expansion of the cemetery in 1956 also brought about the introduction of a new grave design (flat graves). After the cemetery was expanded in 1959, new grave sites could be allocated in 1961. The fence along the street was renewed in 1962 and equipped with a representative entrance portal. In 1966 an urn grove was also opened. The last cemetery expansion took place in 1987 and increased the cemetery by 4,000 square meters.
Funeral hall
The existing, hitherto external funeral hall was included in the cemetery in the course of the rebuilding of the enclosure in 1962. A renovation according to plans by the architect Josef Strelec took place in 1962. In addition to a large laying out room, the hall has ancillary rooms for priests, porters and equipment as well as a burial chamber. The interior design of the funeral room was based on plans by the architect Erich Boltenstern . The burial chamber was the first to be equipped with a cooling device in a Viennese cemetery. The thick concrete glass window and a cross made of natural stone mosaic were created by Hermann Bauch . The hall was reopened in 1964. Between 1975 and 1976 the cemetery administration had the laying out room redesigned and given an urn shrine. In 1989 there was an extension. In 1991 the laying out room was redesigned according to the ideas of the architect Christof Riccabona . In addition to an urn stele, the funeral hall in the apse was equipped with a winged altar. In addition, a vestibule, an organ room and a storage room were built. The outer entrance gate made of ornamental glass was replaced by a glazed iron gate.
