Jewish cemetery (Heessen)

The Jewish cemetery of Hamm-Heessen is located at the Kleiststrasse.
The first mention is in 1822, but the cemetery is probably much older. The last burial took place in 1889.

In 1944, this cemetery was totally destroyed in a bombing raid. Only a bomb crater and an old oak tree remind of this cemetery.

Until 1956 the plot still appeared in the cadastral maps. In 1985 the site was ünde built over.
