The Jewish cemetery Hemsbach

The Jewish Cemetery Hemsbach is a Jewish cemetery in Hemsbach, a town in the Rhine-Neckar district in northern Baden-Württemberg. The cemetery is a cultural monument worthy of protection. The Jewish cemetery of Hemsbach was established in 1674. It is located east of the village on the Mühlweg. The dead from the villages in the area were also buried here.
Today there are still 1,066 gravestones that survived the Nazi dictatorship. "The Jewish cemetery near Hemsbach is one of the most beautifully situated in the German West, not one of the oldest, is how the Israelisches Familienblatt praised the burial place in the summer of 1934." (Israelisches Familienblatt, No. 23. of June 4, 1934; S. Lilienthal: Der Judenfriedhof zu Hemsbach in Baden)
