Stele - Former cemetery of the Jewish community

A stele, an approx. 1.60 m high stone, has stood in the green area on the corner of Hilligenbusch/Schulbrede since 1993. The stone bears a bronze plaque informing visitors that the cemetery of Paderborn's Jewish community was located here at the beginning of the 19th century, which donated the land to the city of Paderborn as a green space in 1930. It was erected by the city of Paderborn on the 42nd anniversary of the pogrom night of 1938 near the site of the destroyed synagogue in Am Busdorf Street with little sensitivity in the immediate vicinity of a switch box and telephone booths and was unveiled on November 9, 1980.
