Old Jewish cemetery Viersen

Since 1853 the Jewish burial ground of Viersen was located on the Florastraße. Buried here was until the year 1906. When the Jewish community 1907 by the city a part of the municipal cemetery had been handed over, went in compensation the part of the older Jewish cemetery, on which until then no burials had taken place, into the municipal possession.

Today there is a green area here. No gravestones have been preserved. A memorial stone reminds of the former Jewish cemetery. It can be assumed that the former burial ground was larger than today's lawn.
