Stammersdorfer Zentralfriedhof, Protected cemetery in Floridsdorf, Austria.
Stammersdorfer Zentralfriedhof is a large burial ground in Vienna's Floridsdorf district, laid out with organized rows of graves connected by maintained pathways. The grounds include two ceremonial halls where funeral services can be held.
The cemetery opened in 1903 after the Stammersdorf municipality decided to provide land for a central burial ground in 1901. Over the decades that followed, it developed into a major funeral site serving the district.
In a separate section near the urn cemetery lie the war graves of Red Army soldiers and Soviet occupation troops, with group and individual graves from 1945. Group 3 holds a mass grave for 105 victims of the 1945 Brno death march. The cemetery also has one of eight branches of the Friedhöfe Wien nursery.
The cemetery lies on Stammersdorfer Straße 244–260 at Vienna's northeastern city limit, with the main entrance and administration building on the north side. Public transport access is limited: only regional bus line 125 serves the site. The historic centre of Stammersdorf is about 2 km to the west.
The cemetery contains a dedicated columbarium section built in 1928 to meet the growing demand for cremation services in Vienna. This section demonstrates how burial practices shifted during the 20th century.
