The Vienna Central Cemetery (German: Wiener Zentralfriedhof) is one of the largest cemeteries in the world by number of interred, and is the most well-known among Vienna's nearly 50 cemeteries. The cemetery's name is descriptive of its significance as Vienna's biggest cemetery, not of its geographic location, as it is not in the city center of the Austrian capital, but on the southern outskirts, in the outer city district of Simmering. The cemetery spans 2.5 km2 with 330,000 gravesites containing around 3 million deceased, and up to 25 burials daily. It is also the second largest cemetery, after the 4 km2 of Hamburg's Ohlsdorf Cemetery, which is the largest in Europe by land area.
A Viennese joke has it that the Central Cemetery is
"half the size of Zürich, but twice as much fun".
