Jewish cemetery Tschischkowitz - Židovský hřbitov Čížkovice

The Jewish cemetery in Tschischkowitz / Čížkovice is located about one kilometer northwest of the village of Čížkovice in the district of Leitmeritz in the middle of fields. It was founded in 1800 and the oldest preserved gravestone dates back to 1839. There are around three gravestones or their remains on the total area of 539 square meters. Until the beginning of the 20th century, burials took place here and Jews from a wide area were buried here, including Jews from the religious community in Milesov or Jewish soldiers from the military garrison in Theresienstadt.

By 2003, the cemetery and the enclosing wall had fallen into disrepair and many of the gravestones were badly damaged and in danger of toppling over. It is overgrown and leaves a deserted impression. Since 2003, the cemetery has been owned by the Association of Jewish Communities of the Czech Republic.
