Sebastiansfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria 1

by Elinor

Sebastiansfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria 1

St. Sebastian’s Cemetery owes its yellow loveliness to Andrea Bereleto, who turned the old cathedral grounds into an Italian campo santo around the year 1600.

You’ll find the titan of Salzburg, Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, in a grandiose mausoleum in the center of the grounds. Because of his fight with his nephew Marcus Sittikus, he was not allowed to be buried in the Dom.

Most people come here to view the grave of Constanze Mozart and admire the gruesome carvings of skulls, but it’s a very restful place nonetheless. Visit when the sun is out and the grass is green.

Sebastiansfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria 2

Sebastiansfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria 2

While you’re meandering around the grounds searching for Mozart family members, keep an eye out for the tomb of the famous physician, Paracelsus (just behind this corridor up a flight of steps).

The inscription on his tomb reads:

“Here lies Philippus Theophrastus, Doctor of Medicine of great renown, whose art most wonderfully healed even the most terrible wounds, leprosy, podagra, dropsy, and other seemingly incurable diseases; and who honored himself by having all his possessions distributed among the poor. He passed from life to death on September 24 of the year 1541.”

Constanze Mozart Grave, Sebastiansfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria

by Elinor

Constanze Mozart Grave, Sebastiansfriedhof, Salzburg, Austria

The daughter of Mozart’s landlady in Vienna, Constanze Mozart was a character and a half.

Originally, Mozart had been interested in her older sister, Aloysia. But when Aloysia turned to singing (and another man), Mozart redirected his attentions. To avoid talk by the neighbors, his future mother-in-law made him move out while he was courting Constanze.

According to Maynard Solomon in Mozart: A Life, the wooing wasn’t easy. Constanze allowed another man to measure her calves in a parlor game; Mozart had trouble getting permission for the match from his father, Leopold. Eventually, they jumped the gun:

“All the good and well-intentioned advice you have sent,” Mozart wrote to his father, “fails to address the case of a man who has already gone so far with a maiden. Further postponement is out of the question.”

Leopold’s reluctant permission arrived the day after they were married.

Constanze had 6 children, only 2 who survived to adulthood. Although Mozart left her with crushing debts, she worked her way out of them, gaining a pension from the emperor and collecting funds from memorial concerts. She first lived with, then married, a Danish diplomat and died at the ripe old age of 80.
