For the entire 2025 year, various events and exhibitions around Vienna celebrate the 200th birthday for “The Waltz King” Johann Strauss II (JS2). Born in Vienna, he is best known for composing the waltz “An der schönen blauen Donau” (On The Blue Danube).

At one corner of group 32A in the city’s central cemetery is this “portrait” view of 5 members of the Strauss family. The two daughters Anna and Theresia aren’t here, but along with JS2’s 1st wife Jetty Treffz, these three women are located at a single grave in Hietzing cemetery.

Number 1: Johann Strauss II, oldest brother.

Number 2. Johann Strauss I, father.

Number 3: Eduard Strauss, youngest brother.
