Klagenfurt Cemetery, Protected historic cemetery in Klagenfurt, Austria.

Klagenfurt (Annabichl) Cemetery is Klagenfurt's largest burial ground, covering 20 hectares at the southwestern foot of the Maria Saaler Berg near the airport, with more than 50,000 graves. It is a protected site; the war graves are marked by rows of inscribed concrete plates rather than individual headstones. Ingeborg Bachmann, Thomas Koschat and Ferdinand Jergitsch, founder of Carinthia's first fire brigade, lie here.

Klagenfurt's central cemetery at Annabichl, at the southwestern foot of the Maria Saaler Berg, replaced St. Ruprecht as the city's burial ground; the first burials took place in 1901. Bishop Joseph Kahn consecrated it in 1906. A tram line from Klagenfurt's main station through the city centre served the cemetery until it was discontinued in 1963.

The cemetery is the burial place of writer Ingeborg Bachmann (1926–1973), composer and choir director Thomas Koschat (1845–1914) and several Carinthian governors, including Florian Gröger and Vinzenz Schumy. Ferdinand Jergitsch (1836–1900), founder of Carinthia's first fire brigade, is also buried here. The general Oskar Potiorek lay here until his remains were moved to Wiener Neustadt in 1966.

The main entrance lies near the Annabichl railway station and the terminus loop of the city bus lines, so the cemetery can be reached by train or bus. A tram line from Klagenfurt's main station ran here through the city centre until it was discontinued in 1963. The grounds cover 20 hectares at the southwestern foot of the Maria Saaler Berg, near Klagenfurt airport.

Among the memorials are tributes to those who perished under Nazi persecution, including young children whose names are honored here. This record preserves remembrance for victims of violence who are sometimes overlooked in broader war narratives.
