The Jewish cemetery in Währing, Vienna, opened in 1784 under the sanitary regulations of Joseph II and became the main burial place of the city's Jewish community. It was in use until about 1884 and holds up to 30,000 burials. The neighbouring Christian cemetery was closed in 1920 and turned into the present Währinger Park.
