Jewish cemetery Seelow

Jewish settlements have been established in Seelow since the first half of the 18th century: the Schutzjude Wolff Levin is mentioned in 1737. In 1901, there were 20 Jewish people living in the town; a Jewish community was formed in 1830. Around 1800, Jewish families in the town bought a piece of land at the end of Hinterstrasse in order to establish a cemetery here. By 1876, 80 burials had taken place in the cemetery.
By 1910, there were only six Jewish inhabitants left in Seelow.
Due to the destruction during the Nazi era (especially in 1938) and the battles for the Seelow hills in 1945, nothing remains of the Jewish cemetery. At that time, around 20 gravestones are said to have been standing or lying there, which were removed in the post-war period. In 1949, there were plans to integrate the cemetery plot into a "Goethe Park", but these were not realized. The cemetery was leveled, first used as farmland and then converted into an asphalt parking lot. The cemetery area was around 600 square meters.

There is no sign or memorial plaque.
