Lackenbach Cemetery, July 2025 update:
Lackenbach Jewish Cemetery main entrance-gate address: Via short dirt road, opposite no. 2 RitzingerStrasse (near corner of BergStrasse).
The cemetery is maintained by IKG Wien and the local authorities. Most gravestones are either destroyed or un-readable, a few were newly restored.
The local government cleans the grown vegetation in the cemetery once a year during spring. When I visited there, it was 2 weeks before the cleaning, the cemetery was covered with thick bush and wildflowers which made it colourful but hard to walk and to find graves.
