Neuer Friedhof Mühlau, Protected cemetery in Mühlau, Austria
Neuer Friedhof Mühlau is a protected cemetery located on a slope in Innsbruck's Mühlau district. The grounds contain multiple grave sections and designated areas, along with a chapel building and administration facilities.
The cemetery opened in 1926 following a 1914 decision to create a new burial ground, designed by architect Wilhelm Stigler. It replaced the previous cemetery located near the Mühlau parish church.
The cemetery serves as the final resting place for several notable regional figures and contributors to Innsbruck's community. Visitors walking through can observe graves of people who left their mark on the city's history.
The ground slopes noticeably, so visitors should wear comfortable footwear and allow extra time for walking through the different sections. The chapel and administration building are accessible from the main entrance.
The cemetery underwent a significant expansion in 1986 when more land was added to accommodate additional burials. This growth reflects how Innsbruck developed over time and required larger spaces for its burial needs.
