Honor graves

Groups of honorary graves in the central cemetery

Group 0

The group 0 in 1885 is applied as the first group of graves honor. In contrast to the other groups of honorary graves, which are located along the avenue leading from the main portal to the cemetery church to St. Karl Borromeo , group 0 runs from the main portal along the cemetery wall towards gate 3 . Almost half of the people buried there died before the cemetery opened and were therefore only moved here afterwards.

Old Jewish Cemetery (Gate 1)

Up until the beginning of the 21st century, there was only one honorary grave in the old Jewish cemetery, that of the writer Friedrich Torberg . Based on the decision of a commission appointed by the Vienna City Council in 2004, 37 more graves were dedicated by the City of Vienna, and a few have been added since then.
