Ludwig van Beethoven had died on the 26th of March 1827<\/strong> at the age of 56, in Vienna<\/a><\/strong>. Today his grave is in Vienna\u2019s Zentralfriedhof<\/em> <\/a>cemetery<\/strong> (show map<\/a>), grave no.29 in group 32a. This group is dedicated to famous composers, among others Schubert<\/a> and Brahms<\/a>. There is no charge to visit the cemetery.<\/p>\n

Beethoven\u2019s final residence<\/strong> was in the so called Schwarzspanierhaus<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, this is where he passed away<\/strong>. This house does not stand today, it was demolished in 1903. The new building has a plaque on the front marking the place for the eternity.<\/p>\n

Poor Beethoven had three burials<\/strong>! First, he was buried couple of days after his death, in Vienna\u2019s W\u00e4hringer Ortsfriedhof cemetery<\/strong>. In 1863<\/strong> authorities decided to remake his burial site<\/strong>. He had been exhumed and his remains were put in a metal coffin \u2013 then buried for the second time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A few years later in 1873 this cemetery was shut down<\/strong> and eventually turned into a park in the 1920s. In 1888 he was exhumed again<\/strong> and moved to Vienna\u2019s Zentralfriedhof<\/em><\/strong>, where a special area was dedicate to composers. This was the third and last time Beethoven was buried<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Before Schubert died as a last will he had asked to be buried next to his idol, Beethoven. This way – unlucky – Schubert had to follow Beethoven even in the grave\u2026three times!<\/p>\n
