STATE MEMORIAL SITE
AMRAS-INNSBRUCK PLAYGROUND
The playground was previously reserved for the residents of Ambras Castle for entertainment and for riding horses.
Here, in God's peace, rest 928 soldiers from the war years 1797, 1799, 1801 and 1805/1806 who died of their wounds and illnesses in the field hospital at Ambras Castle, and 5 women who provided nursing services in the hospital.
In the year of liberation in 1809, the year of Tyrol's uprising against the Bavarian occupation, the defenders of the country who fell in the fighting in the area of Amras, on the Paschberg and Bergisel were also buried on the playground.
In 1856, the soldiers who died in the Innsbruck garrison hospital were buried for the last time in the forest cemetery. In 1799, the mayor of Amras, Johann Georg Sokopf, had a wooden cross erected on the grounds to show pious visitors that the playground was a cemetery.From 1866 onwards, during the First World War in 1914/1918, during and after the Second World War, relatives, clubs, student associations, congregations and former war participants erected numerous grave crosses and monuments for those who had fallen in distant countries and who are resting in foreign soil, to remind us of the senselessness of the cruel wars.New Cross Chapel built in 1897, Lourdes Chapel in 1884 and Kaiserschützen Chapel in 1922.
