This final resting place for around 80,000 Jewish Viennese, this “House of Eternity”, is a fascinating place and an impressive testimony to Jewish tradition and culture, which can be seen in many small details.
The peculiarities of Jewish cemeteries differ fundamentally from Christian ones: Traditionally, visitors place small stones on the graves, which symbolizes permanence and immortality. You can find ivy, which can thrive in moderation, but always make sure to respect the inscriptions.
The graves are never leveled because they are an important part of the belief in the resurrection. Every gravestone tells its own story. When we stroll through this historic place, we come across names like Gerngross, Rothschild and Schnitzler - personalities with eventful destinies that captivate us. Their stories are often harrowing, but also captivating and tragic.
Let us immerse ourselves together in the moving past of this unique place and the people who have come to rest here.
