List of military cemeteries in Austria
Map with all coordinates: 
Deputies of the Burgenland Comradeship Association and the Austrian Armed Forces at the burial of members of the Red Army in the Oberwart military cemetery .
The different number of military cemeteries in the individual federal states is explained not only by the fact that around the end of the Second World War there was more violent fighting in eastern Austria than in the west, but also by how the graves were handled in the individual federal states.
In Lower Austria, for example, the mortal remains of the fallen soldiers, which were originally distributed among various village cemeteries, were exhumed and buried together in newly established cemeteries (one in each quarter). But especially along the southern runway , where there was heavy fighting at the end of the war, there are still over a hundred Russian cemeteries . But also the deceased occupation soldiers or their relatives are buried on them. The preservation of these is regulated in the State Treaty . The Ministry of the Interior is financially responsible, while the state of Lower Austria is responsible for the organization.
In Styria, on the other hand, the fallen are buried in the local cemeteries, which naturally results in a correspondingly large number of place names in this list.
The military cemeteries of the First World War can be found on the one hand in Tyrol and Carinthia, where the front ran against Italy, and on the other hand at the former location of POW camps or military hospitals .
For example, the largest military cemetery in Upper Austria is located in Mauthausen on the area of a prisoner of war camp intended for 25,000 men . The international military cemetery Mauthausen is also known as the Italian cemetery and contains several thousand graves of foreign, especially Italian and Serbian prisoners of war from the First and Second World Wars as well as concentration camp prisoners .
Historic cemeteries often only consist of a memorial stone that indicates that there was once a cemetery or mass grave here.
