The most famous is Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart. However, 17 years after his death, his widow couldn't find
his grave, neither could Vincent Novello in 1829. In 1855 a gravestone was
erected at the assumed position. Later it was transferred to the group of
famous musician graves at Zentralfriedhof. A cemetery worker replaced it
with a memorial tablet, which was again expanded by several contributors.
The rest of the cemetery decayed. It was restored, put under historic
preservation and opened to the public in 1937.
