Heavy fighting took place during the retreat of Nazi troups in Eastern Austria (Burgenland region) by the end of WW2. Dead soldiers had to be buried in various field graves during the fights. After the war their remains were moved to about 160 local cemeteries. To ensure a financially more efficient way of maintaining their graves, the existing Military Cemetery Mattersburg with initially 218 graves was enlarged, so 1.694 bodies could be moved there in the years 1961-64. Starting 1968, further moves took place. Today, Mattersburg has 2.574 interments, 2.494 for German soldiers, 80 for those of other nations.
