Ober Sankt Veiter Friedhof, Historical cemetery in Hietzing, Austria.
Ober Sankt Veiter Cemetery is a burial ground in Hietzing with open green spaces, well-maintained paths, and numerous grave plots of various sizes. The site also features a funeral hall that was renovated between 1964 and 1966 with artistic design elements.
This cemetery was established in 1876 to replace an earlier burial ground that had become overcrowded near the parish church. Subsequent expansions occurred in 1947, 1954, and 1959 as the district grew and burial needs increased.
The cemetery holds graves of notable artists including painter Egon Schiele, serving as a memorial to figures who shaped local cultural life. Walking through the grounds, visitors encounter names and histories that reflect the district's artistic heritage.
The cemetery is easily accessible on foot and features a system of paths that make navigation straightforward. Visitors should respect the grounds as a place of remembrance and observe appropriate behavior when walking through the site.
The cemetery underwent three separate expansions over its history, reflecting its growing importance as a community memorial space. These staged additions demonstrate how seriously the district took its responsibility to honor the deceased.
