Jewish cemetery (Wöllmarshausen)

"The date of construction of the cemetery is not known. As early as 1854, the political community approved its expansion, but forbade the enclosure, in order to continue to allow the grazing of cattle. In 1860/61, the cemetery grounds were again enlarged and enclosed, after between 1840 and 1860, ten adults and two children had been buried on the previous grounds. The Jewish cemetery exists to this day. It is located "In der langen Wiese" on the Mühlenberg, covers 605 square meters, has been owned by the Landesverband der jüdischen Gemeinden von Niedersachsen since 1959 and was repaired in 1963. Nine gravestones are still preserved on the site." (Uta Richter-Uhlig 2010, p. 1584f.)
