Old Jewish cemetery Köthen (Anhalt)

Former Jewish cemetery without any preserved gravestones. There is also a memorial plaque with the inscription next to the entrance gate: "In eternal remembrance / Jüdischer Friedhof Köthen / laid out in 1777 / destroyed in 1944-1948 / restored in 1997 / May you find security with God and rest in the / Garden of Eden. May they rest in peace / Until their resurrection at the end of days / Amen." The use ended in 1888 with the opening of the New Jewish Cemetery. The outer wall was used for road construction around 1945, parts of which were rediscovered in 1988.
