The newest of the three Pirmasens Jewish cemeteries is part of the municipal forest cemetery. In four rows so far 64 gravestones lie in the grave field 6, the shortest accessible über the entrance pavilion. This Jewish cemetery was established in 1927 and is still occupied today. Some graves are ornate, but most of the stones are in a simple triangular shape, which were set before the Nazi era and even after the war. Where this shape of gravestones comes from is unclear. "Möglicherweise the form was developed in reference to the Davistern by the jüdischen Kultusgemeinde and then used many times." (Gerhard Heil, s. Literaturangabe)
