Cimetière juif de Graz

The Jewish cemetery in Graz contains gravestones and memorial monuments arranged in traditional rows, reflecting burial customs from the 19th century onwards.

The cemetery opened in 1865, marking a period of Jewish resettlement in Graz after centuries of restrictions that prohibited permanent Jewish residence in Styria.

The ceremonial hall, rebuilt in 1991, incorporates architectural elements that represent traditional Jewish burial practices and regional Austrian building styles.

The cemetery maintains regular visiting hours, and guided tours through the grounds provide information about notable individuals and burial customs.

The cemetery stands as the sole remaining physical evidence of Jewish life in Graz from before World War II that survived the destruction of 1938.
