		The Viennese jokingly claim that while their Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery) is only half the size of the Swiss capital Bern, it's twice as amusing.
		This claim is certainly true on November 1 and 2 when tens of thousands of Viennese decorate graves of their dearly departed, listen to the bands, and enjoy the brilliant fall foliage while newly arrived flocks of migrating rooks from Siberia dance in the wind above.
		Though the second largest cemetery in Europe, (3.1 square kilometers-there is a bus service inside the cemetery for 55 cents), space was a problem from the beginning thus preventing city planners from realizing their initial ambition to provide burial space to all its residents in one cemetery.

	Alfred Klahr Gesellschaft - Gruppe 40
		Mit wenigen Ausnahmen geben Kurzbiografien einen Einblick in ihr Leben, und die (in den meisten Fällen erstmals veröffentlichten) Porträtsfotos lassen ein Bild von ihnen entstehen.
		Zwischen dem Landesgericht und der Friedhofsverwaltung gab es die Übereinkunft, dass die Leichen der Hingerichteten nach der Vollstreckung des Todesurteils heimlich zum Zentralfriedhof gebracht wurden, um sie dort in den Schachtgräbern der Gruppe 40 zu beerdigen.
		Das was dann von dort auf den Zentralfriedhof in die Gruppe 40 angeliefert wurde, waren nur mehr die Reste der (kopflosen) Leichen, deren Zuordnung zu Namen wahrscheinlich in vielen Fällen nur mehr fiktiv war, weil oft auch Särge mit unterschiedlichsten Leichenteilen dem Wiener Zentralfriedhof zur Beerdigung übergeben wurden.

	Visiting Vienna - Zentralfriedhof (main cemetery)
		The literal translation of Zentralfriedhof is “central cemetery,”; but there’s nothing remotely central about it.
		In its early incarnations it was so unpopular (thanks to the distance from the center) that the authorities had to think of ways to make it more attractive - hence the development of the Ehrengräber or honorary graves as a kind of tourist attraction.
		As you might expect from a city with a rich artistic background, the Zentralfriedhof houses many famous names, including Beethoven.

		This was the official cemetery for every Jew who would die in Vienna from the late 18th century through the opening of the Zentralfriedhof, when the city government decided to close the little cemeteries scattered throughout the city and create the big cemetery for all acknowledged religious communities.
		The older part of the Jewish cemetery by the first gate of Zentralfriedhof already became too small in the 1920s, so the Viennese city government purchased another big area east of the Zentralfriedhof and established a second Jewish cemetery.
		After the end of the war, parts of these bones were given to the Jewish community who buried them at Gate No. 4 of the Zentralfriedhof in a mass grave.

	Wiener Zentralfriedhof - The Authors (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Its impressiveness lies not only in its extraordinary size, but also in the fact that the Zentralfriedhof mirrors a part of Austrian history - there are the graves of famous Austrian composers, politicians, actors,etc., there are the old parts and those still in use, there is a Christian part and a (especially picturesque) Jewish one.
		The Wiener Zentralfriedhof itself seems to be special to many Viennese (there are even songs about it), maybe this is one of the reasons that the Viennese people are said to be fairly morbid and obsessed with death and dying (which is not quite true IMO).
		Among the things which make the Wiener Zentralfriedhof so unique is the variety of the graves, from over a hundred years old to new, in addition to the Christian section there is the Jewish section etc.
