The cemetery of Bautzen

In the city cemetery there was a äolder Jewish cemetery in one corner. The district was called "the Judenecke".

The new cemetery is located between Muskauer Stra;e and Jan Skala Stra;e,  on the northöeastern outskirts of the city. Out of town about 500 m behind the intersection Muskauer Straße/Gesundbrunnenring leads a narrow path on the left directly to the entrance of the cemetery.

The cemetery, which was established in the early years of the 20th century, today includes 22 gravestones, as well as a memorial stone on the back right for over 200 concentration camp victims. Four stones in the left rear area were erected for Russian-Jewish prisoners of war of the First World War. The cemetery is enclosed by a lattice fence, the gate is not locked. Numerous small stones placed on the gravestones testify to frequent visits.

The cemetery seems to be well kept.
