Old Jewish cemetery

Originally, the Nordhorn Jewish community had two cemeteries, both located on Bentheimer Straße.
The old cemetery at Bentheimer Straße 183 was used until about 1864. In the course of road planning, this cemetery had to be closed - and a new cemetery on the other side of Bentheimer Straße 182b was occupied from 1864, where the graves are aligned to the east or southeast.

For a long time, the old Jewish cemetery was still recognizable until the Nazis seized the reigns in Nordhorn as well. Around 1937, the cemetery was completely devastated and a gas station and car repair shop was built on the site (today Autohaus Röttering).
