Looking for a grave in Vienna #austria-czech


Yehuda Rubin
 

My third great grandfather, Wilhelm/Wolf Steinfeld, is presumably buried in the Vienna Zentralfriedhof. He died on March 23, 1911 (death record posted below), but no plot number was listed. 
How would I go about finding his grave? What are the chances that it would still exist? The cemetery had no record of it when I called.
Thanks in advance!
The record is below (he is the first on the left).

Thanks to a JewishGen user who contacted me privately, it seems that the grave is in section 19, row 47 of the Vienna Zentralfriedhof.  
Is anyone in Vienna able to photograph the entire row for me (I'm not sure which grave it is)? I'm willing to pay.

Please contact me, either by responding to this thread or by email if you are able to photograph it. Thanks in advance!

Hi Yehuda,
you can try with a group called "RE : MEMBER VIENNA"  (look on facebook)
this is a wonderful group of young volunteers who takes care of the  Zentralfriedhof cemetery .they clean, cut the overgrowing plants covering the graves,etc.
I gave them a location of my great grandfather's grave  and they sent me a picture of it !!!
the person to address there is Wilhelm Ido Perry Alter

I also have a ancestor buried in Vienna, 1090, Fangoheilanstalt; Section: T4 Group: 6, Row :7, Grave 24.   Is there anyone know that takes care of that cemetery?

Thank you.

You can contact Avotaynu - Institute for Jewish Research & Genealogy, they have close contacts within the burial committee in Vienna, and can easily lookup the burial registry books (not publicly available) for you. Additionally they can readily supply you with photos of graves (for a fee).

Their email is info@....

Hello,
Wilhelm/Wolf STEINFELD fro Tisza Fuered died March 23, 1911 in Vienna aged about 70 years. Vienna Jewish death record say that he was buried March 26 at Vienna Central Cemetery,
For Vienna Jewish burials are at least two holdings available: an alphabetical and and a chronological list - I attached both.
The alpha list has him in line 4: date of death March 23, date of burial March 26, place of burial (Jewish section of the Vienna Central Cemetery) group 19 row 47 (grave) number not given, what is very uncommon, but: Ther is a column caled "Ueberführung"  - transportation with paying.
The chronological list don't has him; there are several burials that day, five in ths row.
My assumption is: he was transfered to the Jewish cemetery of Nagymarton/Mattersdorf, were his eldest son David was buried in 1870 and his wife Rosalie in 1915.

Thank you to all those who have contacted me with offers or suggestions as to getting a photo of the grave.
I requested it on FindAGrave. Within 24 hours, a user contacted me, saying that they went to the cemetery, but there was no legible grave with that name in that row. (Perhaps it was knocked down or is not legible anymore.) 
I won’t be needing help anymore with this, but thanks anyway!
