Allerheiligen

噚日係Allerheiligen假期.
Allerheiligen (all saints' day
我估中文可以譯萬聖節)
當然唔係Halloween啦.呢日係去墳場掃墓日子.據報導呢日維也納有十萬人去掃墓,本來冇乜嘢好做,想去襯吓熱鬧.但係天雨關係,都係留喺屋企好過.
為方便掃墓人士,中央公墓出咗個app.但係我試用Play
Store
唔見有.唔知係咪iPhone先用得.
以下呢篇報導補充咗我以前出過blog一啲資料.咁我摷吓啲舊相,綜合一下,又講吓先.
中央公墓Zentralfriedhof1874年開幕,話係歐洲最大墳場,有多達三十萬個墳.呢度亦係遊客必到之地,好多音樂家都係葬喺呢度.

依家啲墳位只有租用,十年後續約.冇人續約個墳會被拆.舊嗰位會葬低啲,新租客可以葬上面.


咁即係C後同d三唔知識七嘅一齊??!!
使唔使咁呀?我見墳場仲好多位喎.
據報奧地利人唔興火葬,只有20%會咁做.


Europe's largest cemetery with more than 300,000 graves has unveiled a
new smartphone app to help people find their loved ones because so many
people were getting lost around the sprawling grounds of the Austrian
capital Vienna's Zentralfriedhof.



The new cemetery App will not just be useful for relatives looking for
loved ones but also for people doing research into family histories and
for cemetery staff looking to find certain graves, said Vienna cemetery
spokesman Markus Pinter.



One of the reasons that cemetery officials need to find graves is
because they are rented on an initial 10 year contract and after that
can be extended for periods of 5 years at a time or more. If anybody
fails to pay and fails to act on the requests for payment then they lose
the right to rent the grave and it is rented to a new tenant. The grave
is then reopened and the body put further down – typically at a depth
of around 2.8 m – allowing the new body to be placed in the space above.



And tourists will also find it interesting – interred in the
Zentralfriedhof are notables such as Beethoven and Schubert who were
moved there in 1888, and Johannes Brahms, Antonio Salieri, Johann
Strauss II and Arnold Schoenberg. There is a cenotaph erected in honour
of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but he was actually buried in nearby St.
Marx Cemetery.



And the new App will be usable on all of the city's 50 cemeteries.



The Zentralfriedhof (German for "Central Cemetery") name is because of
its significance as Vienna's biggest cemetery, not of its geographic
location, as it is not situated in the outskirts in the outer city
district of Simmering.



The musician Wolfgang Ambros honoured the Zentralfriedhof in his 1975
song "Es lebe der Zentralfriedhof" ("Long live the Zentralfriedhof"),
marking with it the 100th anniversary of the cemetery's opening.



The Vienna Central Cemetery is not one that has evolved slowly with the
passing of time unlike many others. The decision to establish a new, big
cemetery for Vienna came in 1863. Around that time, it became clear
that – due to industrialisation – the city's population would eventually
increase to such an extent that the existing communal cemeteries would
prove insufficient. It was expected that Vienna, then capital of the
large Austro-Hungarian Empire, would grow to have four million
inhabitants by the end of the 20th century, no-one could know that the
Empire would collapse in 1918.



The city council therefore decided to assign an area significantly
outside of the city's borders and of such a gigantic dimension, that it
would suffice for a long time to come. It was decided in 1869 that a
flat area in Simmering should be the site of the future Zentralfriedhof.



The official opening of the Central Cemetery took place on All Saints'
Day, on 1 November 1874. The first burial was that of Jacob Zelzer and
15 other dead people followed the same day. The grave of Jacob Zelzer
still exists today and is located near the administration building at
the cemetery wall.



The cemetery spans 2.4 square kilometres with 3.3 million interred here,
up to 20-25 burials daily. Cremation is not very popular in Austria,
the rate currently hovers around 20 percent.



The App was commissioned after it was found that 30% of people visiting
the cemetery had difficulty locating the gravestones that they wanted to
find.
