Urnenfriedhof/Feuerhalle

The Urnenfriedhof/Feuerhalle is a cremation cemetery with a crematorium building and multiple types of burial arrangements set in a park-like setting. Visitors find wall niches for urns, natural ground burials beneath trees, and open grass areas.

The facility opened in 1932 as cremation practices became more accepted in Austria. It grew into an important burial ground for the region over the following decades.

The facility reflects different approaches to farewell and offers areas for various beliefs and practices. Visitors can see how modern communities support different ways of saying goodbye.

The grounds are open daily from early morning until dusk and invite quiet walks through the space. The administration office is available most weekdays to answer questions.

The site holds four annual memorial services for stillborn and deceased infants at no cost to families. These gatherings are organized with social support organizations to help families through their grief.
