Klagenfurt Cemetery, Protected historic cemetery in Klagenfurt, Austria.
Klagenfurt (Annabichl) Cemetery is a protected burial ground in the city that honors those lost in both world wars. A system of inscribed concrete plates replaces traditional individual headstones, creating a unified and ordered layout across the grounds.
The cemetery was established as a memorial to honor regional war losses and now preserves over 2,700 graves from World War I. The grounds document the substantial casualties the city endured during both conflicts.
The cemetery includes a memorial for 3,175 victims of Nazi persecution, including over 100 children who perished in a Klagenfurt hospital.
The site is open to visitors throughout the year, with extended hours available during warmer months. Even pathways and flat terrain make it easy to walk through and explore the grounds.
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.
