Association for the preservation of the Mautner Markhof family graves

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to announce that the Association for the Preservation of the Mautner Markhof Family Graves was founded on 25 April 2013. This association is intended to ensure a dignified commemoration of our dearly departed family members and ancestors and to create a common basis for the preservation of the historically valuable graves of the Mautner Markhof family. The rights to use these graves were transferred to the association.

From now on, the association will take care of the maintenance, administration and renovation of the graves at Vienna Central Cemetery, Stammersdorf Cemetery and Hietzing Cemetery, with all functions being carried out on a voluntary basis. The associated costs have been borne by a few branches of the family since the beginning. After the dissolution of Mautner Markhof’sche Nahrungs- und Genussmittelbeteiligungs-AG, all grave care tasks were carried out by individual family members. In future, these tasks are to be placed on a broader family basis, involving the next two generations in particular. The association needs active support for this.

Our common roots unite us all, just as the work of the association affects us all and serves us all. It is up to us and our descendants to ensure the preservation of the family graves and to look after the graves of our dearly departed.

The Executive Board has set an annual membership fee of € 120 per person. Membership is considered to have been granted upon payment of the membership fee and submission of the declaration of membership. Parents are free to pay the membership fee for their underage children. Any additional donations are very welcome.

We hope for the support of many family members and thank you on behalf of the Board of Directors.
