The cemetery of Schermbeck

A Jewish cemetery must have existed in Schermbeck already in the middle of the 17th century, in the church records of the Protestant church several Jews are mentioned who were buried in Schermbeck.

It is not clear whether it was the same cemetery that exists today at the „Bösenberg“. The present cemetery is located in a residential area. There are 31 rather plain stones, also two memorial stones for people who were murdered in camps.
