This post is in fulfillment of my promise to 
´s challenge for #CemeteryPhotos.
This is the 2nd largest cemetery in Vienna after the Zentral Friedhof - Simmering (located in the 3rd District of Vienna). It has a area of 192,970 sqm and has a burial slots totalling to 23,034. It is really huge and majority of the graves are with marble slabs and tombstones engraved with the names of the dead ones as well date of their birth and death. The cemetery is administered by the officials of the City and has been here since it originally started in 18
Most of the graves fits as much as 8 people, just like in my last cemetery post on Grinzinger Friedhof. The cemetery used to have a Crematorium, but lesser family didn´t want their departed loved ones cremated, so they stop the Crematory and move the process in Simmering.
It is like a huge park and there are many alleys nicely planted with trees that are now big after decades of growing. The graves are well taken care of, I didn´t see any grave that is devastated or in similar status.
The cemetery had been constructed in 1836. There used to be 3 different cemeteries in the district but they have been closed and from then on, the cemetery became the central one for the district.
This cemetery is surrounded by new housing projects and lots of farming fields. A lot of people prefer to live in the area that is bordering Lower Austria because it is so peaceful and where everyone could enjoy countryside feeling without going so far. In fact this cemetery is a walking distance from my house. It is around this vicinity that I go biking and walk the dog.
