Urnenfriedhof/Feuerhalle

Urnenfriedhof/Feuerhalle, Historic crematorium and urn cemetery in Graz, Austria

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.

In 1909 the Styrian and Carinthian cremation society "Die Flamme" applied for a cremation concession and a crematorium, but both the provincial authority and the administrative court refused. In 1930 the Graz municipal council decided to build a municipal urn cemetery, leaving the crematorium to the two local cremation societies. The Feuerhalle, designed by Erich Boltenstern, was built in 1931–1932 and was Austria's fifth crematorium and the last completed before the Second World War; the surrounding urn cemetery was laid out in 1932 to plans by garden architect Wolfgang Fauland. Both were extended between 1961 and 1967.

The cemetery was laid out in 1932 by garden architect Wolfgang Fauland, and its first grave is still maintained by the municipal funeral service. Burials include wall niches, ground graves, plots under trees and in lawns. The historian Hans Pirchegger (1875–1973) and politician Hannes Bammer (1922–2017) are buried here.

The main entrance on Alte Poststraße has a Graz Linien stop directly in front of it. The grounds sit between the Muslim cemetery to the north and the Zentralfriedhof to the south, separated from the latter by the Josef-Hyrtl-Gasse. The site is owned by the City of Graz and managed by the municipal Bestattung Graz GmbH.

The first grave laid out in 1932 is still maintained by the municipal funeral service Graz. Of the roughly 11,000 graves, the historian Hans Pirchegger (1875–1973) and the politician Hannes Bammer (1922–2017) are buried here. The grounds rank third among Graz cemeteries by number of graves, after the Zentralfriedhof and St. Peter.
