British Military Cemetery Klagenfurt/Celovec

With entry into Lilienthalstraße, the only British military cemetery in Austria is located in Klagenfurt. From a chapel-like building with the street-side inscription „Klagenfurt War Cemetery“ at the entrance, one crosses the area with uniform, white headstones towards a white cross on the other side. The geometrically precisely arranged graves provide information on the name, regiment, date of birth and death, as well as religious affiliation of the approximately 600 British and allied soldiers buried here, who died in the air war, as prisoners of war during the time of the NS regime, or during the occupation period in Austria.
