Austro-Hungarian military cemetery of Bolzano

Austro-Hungarian military cemetery of Bolzano, Military cemetery in St. Jakob, Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy.

The Austro-Hungarian military cemetery of Bolzano lies along the state road near the hamlet of San Giacomo (St. Jakob), beside the Italian military cemetery. At its centre stands the neo-Gothic Maria-Hilf-Kapelle, built in 1897/98 to plans by Johann Bittner and consecrated in 1900, with a 17th-century altar from the former Niederhaus residence. An octagonal memorial pavilion designed by city architect Gustav Nolte was inaugurated in 1917, its ceiling paintings by Albert Stolz.

The cemetery was laid out in 1859 for Austrian soldiers killed in the Sardinian War; remains of those fallen in the 1848/49 battles were later moved here from the Bozen parish cemetery. After 1866 many wounded and dying soldiers were brought to Bozen. The Militär-Veteranen-Verein Bozen, founded in 1874, has cared for the graves ever since.

The cemetery is cared for by the Verein zur Pflege des Soldatenfriedhofes St. Jakob/Bozen, chaired by Hans Duffek, successor to the Militär-Veteranen-Verein Bozen founded in 1874. A plaque commemorates the South Tyrolean soldiers of the Polizeiregiment "Bozen" killed in the Via Rasella attack in Rome on 23 March 1944.

The cemetery lies along the state road at St. Jakob/San Giacomo, next to the Italian military cemetery. The Maria-Hilf-Kapelle stands at the centre of the grounds, with the octagonal 1917 memorial pavilion and the rows of crosses and collective gravestones around it. The site is cared for by the Verein zur Pflege des Soldatenfriedhofes St. Jakob/Bozen.

A plaque in the cemetery commemorates South Tyrolean members of the Polizeiregiment "Bozen" killed in the Via Rasella bombing in Rome on 23 March 1944. The cemetery also holds 142 German soldiers of the Second World War in a separate plot beside the Austro-Hungarian graves.
