The cemetery in Neustadt an der Saale

The cemetery is located in the western outskirts of Bad Neustadt at the lower end of Mozartstraße. One approaches him from the south, where also the entrance is. From the gate a small chestnut avenue measures through the area, which rises steeply to the north. The graves in the almost square field are oriented to the east. Only the western part is occupied, the eastern half has remained empty. The side with the entrance gate is protected by a wall, on the other three sides there is wire mesh fence.

The cemetery was established in 1887.1) Before that burials were made in Kleinbardorf. It is not known when the last burial took place. The indication on the sign at the entrance that this cemetery served "until 1942 as a burial place" could be the paraphrase for the fact that in that year all Jewish fellow citizens of Neustadt were deported.
