Jewish cemetery (Halle)

The Jewish cemetery in Halle (Saale) is located on Humboldtstraße and was consecrated in 1869. It was a replacement for the first cemetery of the Jewish community after its reestablishment in Halle in the 17th century, which was laid out in 1693 at the Töpferplan near the city God's Acre. The new cemetery covers an area of just under one hectare, on which there are several hundred gravestones. Burials took place until 1929, and in family graves until 1940. Citizens of the Jewish faith have since been buried in the New Jewish Cemetery, a separate area of the Gertrauden Cemetery.
