Soldatenfriedhof Amras, Military cemetery in Amras district, Innsbruck, Austria.
Soldatenfriedhof Amras is a military cemetery in Innsbruck containing nine grave sections marked A through J, separated by main pathways throughout the grounds. The site is bordered by scattered coniferous trees and maintains organized rows of individual memorials.
The cemetery was founded in 1917 during World War I to honor fallen soldiers of that conflict. It was later expanded after 1945 to accommodate those who died in World War II.
The graves are organized by soldier origin, with separate sections for Italian, Tyrolean, Muslim, and Russian servicemen that reflect their respective memorial traditions. This spatial division shows how different faiths and backgrounds were honored during wartime.
The grounds are publicly accessible and maintained by the Austrian Black Cross organization with care and attention. Visitors are welcome to explore at a respectful pace, following the pathways that guide you through each section.
In the Italian section stands a four-sided stone monument from 1920 with relief friezes and a copper roof designed by sculptor Natale Tommasi. This carefully crafted memorial reveals the artistic effort invested in honoring those buried here.
