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.
The cemetery holds memorial sections dedicated to soldiers from the Soviet era, reflecting how this place serves as a space where the community honors those from a shared past. Walking through these areas, visitors encounter the quiet ways a burial ground becomes a keeper of collective memory.
The cemetery is accessible by public transport and clearly marked pathways help visitors navigate the grounds without difficulty. The site maintains regular opening hours, though busy periods around holidays may see more visitors than usual.
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.
