Jewish Cemetery Klosterneuburg

Data

 

Description

The cholera epidemic of 1873 prevented the Jewish community from transferring its deceased from Klosterneuburg to the Jewish cemetery in Währing, as had been customary until that time. A plot of land was therefore purchased, furnished with a circumference wall and designated for use as a cemetery in 1874. Today there are around 650 graves on the site. In 2007, a private committee was founded to preserve the Jewish cemetery. It took initial steps to secure the cemetery and carried out preservation work. The cemetery is locked; access or a guided tour can be arranged through the local authority or the Committee for the Preservation of the Jewish Cemetery Klosterneuburg.
