Jewish cemetery (Lösnich)

The old Jewish cemetery of Lösnich in the district of Bernkastel-Wittlich was established at the end of the 19th century. Before the permission to establish the cemetery in 1883, the Jewish fellow citizens used another place as a burial ground, which, however, must have been located very close by. The description of the location in a handwritten sketch designates the almost two-acre plot with the name "Burgbüsch" next to the Büschwiesen at the Erbertsgraben.[1] The establishment of the new cemetery in the Erbert district was preceded by a decades-long dispute with the "Israelite Community".
