Jewish cemetery (Obermoschel)

The Jewish cemetery in Obermoschel has existed since 1819. In 1868, the grounds were expanded. It was occupied until the 1930s. The cemetery plot has the shape of an almost equilateral triangle, each side 40 to 45 m long. The total area is 10.90 ares (first 5.80 ares, later extension area 5.10 ares). The preserved gravestones are distributed in seven rows of graves in the upper part. In a wreath below the grave rows fragments of gravestone bases and gravestones are deposited.

During the Nazi period the cemetery was desecrated and partially destroyed. About 70 gravestones are preserved, plus fragments of gravestone plinths.
