The Zentralfriedhof is "home" to Beethoven, Brahms, Strauss, and Schubert, among others. It was built in 1874 to accommodate the growth Vienna was experiencing at the time.
Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery), Vienna, Austria ... March 6, 2013
I had a few extra minutes so I headed out to Simmering (outskirts of Vienna) to the Zentralfriedhof, one of the largest cemeteries in Europe. It is the first in number of interred and second in area only to Hamburg's Ohlsdorf cemetery. On a side note, I also used to live right next door to the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg, so perhaps I am drawn to these places.
