The Strauss Family
The first tomb is the final resting place of Eduard Strauss, the youngest of the three sons of Johann Strauss Senior and his wife, Maria Anna.
At his own wish, Eduard Strauss was buried in his uniform – that of the director of music at the court balls. The King of Waltz is also buried on the central cemetery: Johann Strauss Junior. He is considered to have been the founder of the golden age of Viennese operettas.
Josef Strauss was the second oldest son of Johann and Maria Anna Strauss. Having successfully completed an engineering course as his father wished, Josef took instruction in the violin. Following a concert tour to Warsaw in 1870, he fell into a coma and died shortly afterwards in Vienna. Diagonally opposite you can find the tomb of Johann Strauss Senior.
