Jewish Cemetery Vienna Währing

The Jewish Cemetery in Währing is a unique reminder of the culture, art, economy and society of Vienna during the Biedermeier period. Ground-breaking developments were underway during the years the cemetery was in use (1784-1879), and their influence can clearly be seen today in the character of the city, the region and, indeed, the entire country.

We invite you to support the association with a donation, 100% of which will be used for the restoration of the cemetery and its gravestones.

Donations to our association are tax-deductible.

Cancellation January 11!

Due to the increased snow load and icy wind, it is not only unpleasant to be outdoors, but there is also a considerable risk of branches breaking.

We are therefore forced to cancel the opening day and the guided tours on January 11 for safety reasons!

The next date for gardening (10 am – 4 pm):

March 8
April 12
May 10

Further dates on all guided tour days until September. Men are asked to wear headgear. Entering the area is at your own risk.
