Klagenfurt War Cemetery
Klagenfurt War Cemetery, Commonwealth military cemetery in Klagenfurt, Austria
The cemetery contains 589 Commonwealth burials arranged in precise rows with identical headstones, featuring regimental emblems and personal details of the deceased soldiers.
British occupation forces established this cemetery in June 1945 to centralize graves from various locations throughout Austria following World War II.
Local residents maintain connections with the cemetery through regular visits and commemorative ceremonies, demonstrating the enduring respect for fallen Commonwealth soldiers.
The cemetery register, located in a brick shelter near the entrance, provides detailed information about each burial site and the military service records.
Eight graves from World War I were transferred here between 1950 and 1954, making it the only Commonwealth war cemetery in Austria containing burials from both world wars.
