Approximately 1,500 people are buried at Mattersburg cemetery, which has been in existence since 1694. Almost all of the gravestones were looted during the Nazi era. After 1945, a memorial wall was constructed using the gravestone remains, and later on, symbolic gravestones were installed. The Jewish Museum in Eisenstadt has compiled an index of names of the people buried at the cemetery. The cemetery is kept locked, the key is available from the local municipal offices. Guided tours are available by appointment.
