Jewish cemetery Linn

A Jewish cemetery appears in the sources for the first time in 1751. It was located on the crossroads. Since the burial ground was already completely occupied in 1778, the Linner magistrate left the adjacent field piece to the Jewish community.

During the November pogroms, the synagogue in Linn was set on fire. However, the fire did not completely destroy the synagogue. The walls remained standing, in order to remove these the Linner Johannes Frenz, who owned a coal business and several trucks, by the city administration the suggestion was made the rubble and the wall remainders to remove and as payment the complete area of the Jewish cemetery to receive. Lenz refused the offer, stating that he did not have enough manpower to do the job. To remove the remains of the wall, the Nazis now ordered a demolition.

The cemetery grounds < where burials had still taken place until 1936, had to be sold in 1942 under National Socialist pressure.
