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.

TOURS

Due to the current situation and the new Corona-restrictions we sadly have to cancel the tours on Sunday, November 8.
And it is just as unsure if we can carry out the tours on December 13.

We ask for your understanding and hope to provide alternate dates as soon as possible.

VOLUNTEERING
For many years, we have welcomed anyone wanting to help us keep the vegetation in the cemetery grounds under control. The first steps in the clean-up process have been taken, but many more hands are needed to wield shears, rakes and other garden implements to restore our cemetery.

A unique testament of the past

The association’s aims include undertaking the necessary restoration works and establishing a museum with regular guided tours to increase public awareness of this very significant site in Vienna.

Preserving this cultural and historical treasure for posterity is a team effort in which the Republic of Austria and the City of Vienna are also playing their part. The “Save the Jewish Cemetery in Währing” association is committed to raising the remaining funds needed. We are working together to get this project off the ground.
