The old cemetery of Chodovà Planà (cowl plan)

Chodová Planá/Kuttenplan is a small village approx. 8 km südlich Mariánskě Lázné/Marienbad

When in 1686 the Jews were expelled from Planá/Plan, some families found refuge in neighboring Kuttenplan, where Jews must already have been residentäsig, since the first mention of a synagogue there dates from 1645.

Around the middle of the 18th century, more than 20 Jewish families are said to have lived in Kuttenplan, and around 1750 they replaced the old synagogue with a new building. Around 1770 their number had grown to more than 30 families.

In the second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century the community was greatly decimated by emigration, around 1930 only a few Jews remained in Kuttenberg.

The old cemeterywurde probably already in the 15th /16th century, towards the end of the 19th century, the creation of a new cemetery was necessary.

You can reach the cemetery on foot; from the brewery by following the path up a small hill, and then turn right. Through a walkway and across a field you will reach another small wood, where the cemetery is located.
