The Dr Karl Lueger Kirche sits in the centre of the Zentralfriedhof. It was built in 1907-1910 in an 'angular' type of neoclassicism with influences of Jugendstill; the result being that it almost seems to preempt the art deco style. Max Hegele, who was a pupil of Otto Wagner, designed the building in honor of Vienna's mayor.
The relatively stark, but beautifully crafted interior is balanced by this expansive dome featuring a sun burst pattern in gold and royal blue.
