Bodenheim

The first Jews settled in Bodenheim after the Thirty Years' War. Around the middle of the 19th century, the community comprised about 120 members, then their number declined due to emigration to about 45 in 1933.

The Jewish cemetery in Bodenheim was used from 1833 to 1937 . Today's cultural monument is located at the southwestern edge of the village, at the extension of the Ebersheimer Weg. The entrance is closed, but at various points through gaps in the hedge you can see the still 43 existing gravestones.
