!!!Soldatenfriedhöfe

War Cemeteries: During World War I Austrian war cemeteries were laid 
out in Carinthia and East Tirol (in Hochgrenten, Neuwinkl and near 
Lake Obstans, in the district of Kartitsch), in South Tirol and near 
the Isonzo front (Redipuglia). The soldiers of the Wehrmacht (the 
armed forces of Nazi Germany) who were killed in Austria at the end of 
World War II were transferred to cemeteries (e.g. in Oberwoelbling, 
Retz, St. Poelten) which were maintained by the  Schwarzes Kreuz 
organisation. Under the Austrian State Treaty, war cemeteries of the 
Soviet army are maintained by the Austrian authorities. There are also 
war cemeteries near former prisoner-of-war camps and some even date 
back to the Napoleonic Wars.
