Old Jewish cemetery Hülchrath

In the available sources there are no references to the exact date of the foundation of the old Jüdische cemetery in Hülchrath. A cadastral map from 1811 describes the plot as "Old Jüden Kirchhof". Due to the high groundwater level, the land was repeatedly flooded. 1900 at the end of today's Jahnstraße the new Jüdische cemetery was created, on which 1907 the first burial took place.

Während of the pogrom from 9 to 10 November 1938 were both Friedhöfe geschändet. Afterwards, students of the so-called Reichsbauernschule, which was located in Hülchrather Schloss, removed the gravestones that remained in the old cemetery. Until 1987 the gravestones were stored in the outer castle. Today the plot is no longer recognizable as a cemetery, because there are no gravestones left there. A stele erected by the village community Hülchrath opposite the plot reminds of its former use. Here is also the cadastral map of 1811 depicted.
