i m small town of Langental, not far from Oberpullendorf, an important building was opened last Sunday: the newly built corpse hall. This solemn blessing marks an important step for the community, which has been working for some time with the desire for its own farewell location.

At the opening ceremony, numerous personalities were present, including Mayor Martin Karall, who took over the review of the history of the project, and Kaplan Stjepan Lukašević. Vice Mayor Christina Köppel and the master builder Gerhard Köppel were also part of the party, as did the state party chairman of the ÖVP Burgenland, Christian Sagartz, and Monika Trimmel.

a long way to your own corpse hall

In his speech, Mayor Karall recalled the folk survey from 2016, which was a decisive turning point. In this survey, 67 percent of the citizens spoke out for construction. This clearly showed that there was a widespread wish for a corpse hall in the village in order to enable the deceased to say goodbye.

The need to build its own corpse hall was not only a practical, but also an emotional decision. The inhabitants of Langental wanted to create a place that lives up to the needs of the mourners and deals with respect with the deceased. There are already such institutions in many communities, and now the residents of Langental can also look forward to a worthy grief culture.

The opening was accompanied by a blessing ceremony that offered the guests and those present the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new facility. It is a facility that not only offers the mourners a room for their last farewell, but also strengthens the sense of community in the village.

"It is very important to us that everyone here finds a reasonable place for the farewell," said Kaplan Lukašević during the ceremony. The corpse hall was designed in such a way that it is both functionally and aesthetically appealing, and should be a place of consolation for the relatives.

With the blessing of the new corpse hall in Langental, another important step has been taken in improving the local infrastructure. With this building, the community not only reacted to the needs of its residents, but also created a place that expresses gratitude and respect for the deceased.
